idk about the fuel mileage thing. As for the air "drag" this is what thy came up with. This it a ghetto drawing I just did to explain. the blue is "air" with a gate on you have air the curclates in your bed causing the air that comes over your roof to pass right over the truck. If the gate is off that air goes down and hits your bed causing more air drag. I know a lot of people run with no gate cause of better fuel mileage and less drag. I personally have no idea I've never driven with the gate off. I was told its illiegle I'm not doubting anyone I'm just telling ya what they said food for thought Iguess you could say.








I guess the new motor is working ok for ya

That is a pretty acurate drawing, I learned that the hard way in my ranger. Me and my buddy were on a smoke ride and I realized that a McDonalds bad I'd thrown in the bed earlier was "levetating" about 2-3 feet out of the bed. So when I looked in my rear view mirror there was this bad floating there...
and that was my intraductory to science

The other week I was driving to work with two ice bags in the bed of my truck and those things kept on playing peek a boo with me. They'd pop up for a few second then dropped back down and no matter how fast I went, I couldn't make them fly out of my bed. It was rather amusing for awhile.
