Got a questions. I have a '03 quad cab dakota with a V-8 4.7 L engine. Does anyone have any ideas to get better gas mileage? Right now I get about 16 mpg.

Thanks.

Check out the one on my site, it only cost me $86 total and increased mileage by 2mpg. Also no lead foot, be gentle with all that hp.

You gained 2mpg by adding a hot air intake?

It is located right next to the opening where the stock intake took its air so it does get fresh air and engine air both, but the short answer is yes, 2mpg even with engine air.
