Something is wrong with my truck. I get bad gas mileage
Death flash was dodges answer to an engine that didn't have a knock sensor, and exhibited lots of spark knock.... so, they reprogrammed the PCM to pull timing. (thus, eliminating spark knock, but, also robbing power.)
To get rid of it, get a tuner from Hemifever Tuning. (he is a member here too...) 265 for three canned tunes, 365 for custom. Canned tunes will be fine for a stock truck, with just bolt on mods.

You have something else going on there then.... that is less than 10 miles per gallon..... (assuming a 26 gallon tank, if you have the 35 gallon tank, then you have a SERIOUS issue somewhere.)
Need to fix whatever is ailing it FIRST before you start adding tunes into the equation.

I agree. I have 4.56 gears, no plenum fix yet, 315x75r16 tires, and put at least 45 miles of 4x4ing in the sand every weekend. I get around 245 per fill up and that is when the gauge is in between empty and 1/4 tank. Although the pump stops after about 21 gallons.
It is a 2x4 and before the tune up I was hitting 310 to a tank.

I found where to ad a avatard but it wont let me.

i think if you want to start tracking your gas mileage you should start a fuelly's account. i doubt in that 280 miles that you burnt through all your gas. i think you just need to keep better track of everything.
