ORIGINAL: AIR RAM

Proven mods that help fuel economey on a 3rd Gen Ram are:

4.56 gears (depending on your final averdrive ratio) .75-.67 4.56's have been proven to help up to 65-70MPH.
Intake
electric fan
underdrive pulley
JET STREAM SCOOP
true 3" single exhaust system with high flow muffler.

And the DRIVING HABBITS!

SPEED SAFE, AIR RAM
I agree with many of AIR RAM's suggesetions. I noticed a 1-2 increase by installing my CAI and driving easy, as I usually do on the highway with the truck (in a car its a different story, lol). I plan to install an underdrive pulley, and electric fan this summer as well. I'm looking into the 4.56's but only because I plan to run 35's which won't help fuel econ. at all.

P.S. Damn Hank, who is gonna spend all day and read all of that?! hahaha.
