Thanks HeyYou. I've got a breeze not a vacuum. So I guess it ain't the plenum. Any other suggestions? I'm at a loss.
When you say " disable the PCV system" do I cap both sides or just the valve side?

Well fellas thanks for all the advice but I solved my mystery and don't I feel like a dumb-*** . When I fixed my blown heater hose I had to move the alternator out of the way. But before moving the alternator I disconnected the battery. LOL ain't that a hoot?
Just remembered will talking to my wife about freaking out over the truck. Once again thanks to all.Greg
To better explain myself how I get MPGs. I never pay attention to fuel gauge, I always use tripometer to figure my fuel mileage.
When I disconnected the battery I reset the tripometer and forgot it was reset.
Once again thanks to all,Greg
