Default 1995 dodge ram 360 terrible mileage
I have a 95 dodge ram 360 and it is only geting 10 mpg. Im not getting on it at all and it wont improve. I have a k&n and a flowmaster exhaust. What could be causing it to get such low mileage. Any ideas of things to change would be helpful.

Checked your plenum yet? How old are your oxygen sensors? (ok, you should only have one..... if it's original, replace it with an NTK unit.)

The 360 under the hood isn't all that fuel efficient to begin with.

Besides the plenum and O2 Sensor ( I still need to change mine) when's the last time it got a good tune up and new/or cleaned air filter?

NTK? Why not Bosch?

Not sure anyone likes the bosch sensors.

NTK are good, as are Denso (OEM.....) The bosch tend to be slower reacting, so, you really don't get the benefit from them you would really like to have.
