Default Better gas mileage for my 99 ram 1500
Hey i have a '99 Ram 1500 with 156,000 on the odometer. The tranny is about to take a crap on me but once i get that fixed i was wondering if anyone had any sugestions on how to make my gas mileage go up. i heard a cold air intake, and a chip would help. any other ideas.
