good thing it's still out there then because I needed to do it but thanks for the insight. I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting such ****y gas mileage under 6 MPG I figured the cold weather would help it and I did check the tire pressure and that's all fine hopefully when the Superchip Flashpaq comes in to help me out a little bit just did the spark plugs couple months ago fuel system clean K&N cold air intake and still crappy

Super chips won't really help with mileage either. Been there, done that.

Mileage? Might be time for new O2 sensors.

If they are original, wouldn't hurt to replace them too.

Get NTK, or Denso sensors. Don't bother with the Bosch fellers. Our trucks don't like 'em.
