I had a '98 Ram 1500 with the 5.9 and one time I got 15 mpg the rest of the time it was 12 or 13 mpg. I had dual exhaust, throttle body spacer, K&N air filter. I'm glad I bought my cummins, last tank of fuel I got a little over 20 mpg.

Hey how the hell does a small state like Ohio have 2 football teams?
it's because even though texas is way bigger than ohio, ohio has just about as high a population as texas with just as many electoral votes.
texas has 70% more electoral votes than ohio.... 20 million people vs 11 million


knowing is 2/3rds the battle...

i have the max energy and so far it is the best mod i have done. about 3 more mpg, alot better throttle response, 500 more rpms. go to orielly's. they will price match it. i got mine for like 350$. i would buy it again. buy the way i get 12mpg.

no more than 3" exhaust. donnt buy a throttle body they are a joke and waste of money.

mine has 53k.

Football originated in Ohio. That's why the Hall of Fame is in Canton.

Talon- nobody said buy a throttle body, and I'm assuming you meant a throttle body spacer aka paper weight.

But taking off your tb and cleaning it will help. Also cleaning his PCV valve would help.

I get about 10mpg if I keep it 65 or under. I managed to squeeze out 11.5 over a two hour highway drivethe other day, which was my avg before the lift. Just need to be a little more careful with the pedal on the right. =)
