You could just snake a tube from the spare vac port in the accessory "T" on the manifold to your butt...

With those large tires on your truck, I suggest you go with 150psi.

Try

http://www.le-inc.com/products.jsp?productID=175

a quick MPG test I did found no big or little MPG change
but the 'feel' of the engine really changed noticeably.

A more accurate two truck convoy style MPG test
might show gain or loss

On another MPG note,
I noticed that Mobil One oil now has a
2% MPG gain semi-guarantee
on the back of the new style bottles of some of the
viscosity grades of 0W-20 and 0W-30

Remember the Shell Oil gasoline 'Bronze' additive
that messed up the Chrysler fuel level sensors resistor coating?
That promised a few percent MPG gain in their TV ads.

These small percent economy gains don't sound like much,
but keep in mind that
a 100% rise in fuel cost over the last 24 months
has only led to a net 5% drop in fuel consumption within the USA.

But this tiny 5% drop has now made crude oil prices begin to decline.

If people switched their engine oil to Mobil One,
raised their tire air pressures to 4 psi over the door label number,
and moved the cross bars of their SUV luggage racks fully to the rear,
these tiny changes would drop fuel consumption another 4 to 6%
and crude oil prices would fall faster.

The economic law of supply and demand eventually works,
except in fuel buying here in the relatively rich USA
the geek-speak
'inelasticity co-efficient'
is 20 to 1,
meaning it takes a
20% rise in price
to cause a 1% drop in consumption.

Yea,tell me about it.

No really,im at 45lbs right now and am getting a good ride out of them.

Im actually happy right now with the mpg on her as I have been seeing it around 16mpg which for this big a truck I can't complain.But as I said before,I never even get past 50mph where I drive and im very easy on the pedal.I coast all the time while others are flying around me just to get up to the same red light as I do.

Driving habits really do play the major part in saving gas,but again,I won't discount others who are using other methods to help their mpg.

Jesus,so you're just basically calling all here that are saying they are or have been using it A-holes??? They're all nuts in your opinion? Or liars?

Or anyone else who has posted about their experiences with this on the internet are the same?

I don't know you brother but see this as a pretty closed minded way of thinking.Even if they are getting better results because of changing driving habits or whatever else,to just insult them all because you disagree is pretty sad on your part.To get so pissed at people because they are or even think they are saving gas by using this only shows you of a lessor character.

Im not trying to start trouble with you as you have been here longer than me,but I feel you are doing just this and more.Why do you care if others are using it happy with it? Don't you think that you are just WAY too pissed about these people using it??

Sorry man,but take a breather,have a drink and relax and enjoy life.Be happy in others happiness.If they are doing damage to their vehicles by using this,then I guess it will be a lesson learned by them and then you can scream "I TOLD YOU SO"

Oh yeah and as I stated earlier,I am going to try this in a 97 Aerostar that I have and what happens.I will definitely post on what I find and I promise not to lie.LOL

Obviously I will have to do this for a while to determine if my engine blows up or not so it will be a while for the posts,but I will get em posted.
