We've lost a couple of dogs over the years, but we still keep 5 in memory and, yes, they can be quite the handful. Dogs don't intentionally try to **** you off, though. They just happen to do it sometimes, unlike kids.

kinda funny how your mpg's go up when you drive into city traffic. but maybe its cause the engine is warmer by then. since the weather has been getting warmer and i dont have to warm the truck up so much every morning my mpgs have gone up as well. i do 120 total highway miles traveling to and from school each week and at the end of january i was at 12.2, now im at 13...for what its worth.

Unfortunately I can't make equal comparison on the way back because it is always "rush hour" regardless of time.
I have thought about dropping in a block heater and seeing if that does anything to bring the truck into closed loop sooner, but it's exactly that; one of those "I've thought about it"s.

Really??? With a 275/55R20 and 4.56 gears, Im running right around 2300rpm @ 70mph with tow/haul off and around 2500rpm @70mph with tow/haul on. Even around 80mph my RPMs have never gone above 2800rpms.

I don't own a Automatic, I have said this time and time again, locking out the OD is going disable MDS and give you better mpg in city driving, once on the high way 50 mph+ shift into od your self..
Keaping the truck geard low is going to give you more power and better mpg vers the truck up shifting down shiftting up shifting down shifting Blah blah..
Accleration will be improved with less effort.
Oh, and I hate automtics !!!!!!
