I didn't see a gain in mileage with my eBayTake either. It picked up some nice throttle response, but no mileage.

Update: I filled back up today, and my mpg was 14.5. So tomorrow I am going to put my factory stuff back on, and I will update on my next fill up.

Got my factory stuff back on today. Went out tonight for a drive, and noticed a quicker response on take off, than with the trueflow. I will update with the mpg after I fill up in a week or so.

I filled up the truck today, and my mpg was 14.9. It seems to be getting better. I will give it another tank and see what it is then. I might have a trueflow cai up for sale.

did you make sure to get the trueflow for the 5.7 and not the 4.7
Yes

Did you reset the PCM after the install? My MPG sucked until i did this.

Tis true, if you don't reset the PCM it usually takes a few hundred miles to completely adjust to the higher volume of air hitting the sensors. You usually don't see an increase in performance or mpg's until it has adjusted for it, but I've not heard tell of anyone actually LOSING throttle response and fuel economy during the "learning period"...
