3. I keep getting a code for power steering sensor being out of range.

HELP!! Thanks guys!!
1.) depends how you drive it. If I'm in the city and running hard on it, I used to get 10mpg's.
2.) 20" wheels(33"rubber) and 3:55 gears are a big problem with these trucks. I have 3:92's and my truck was even sluggish off the line. Regarding "gunning it", the transmission programs are crap and are for old people and are slushbox's.
3.) You may have an issue with your R&P(rack & pinion)??? Not entirely sure though

I would search out on the forums here the TM mod. it eliminates torque management so you'll get faster cleaner shifts. Just to give you an idea, my sSuperchips showed my truck TM at 80%. That means only 20% of the power was being delivered while the truck was shifting. I have a problem with that and already fixed it

Also the gears in these trucks are terrible. if you can, I would reccomend throwing in a set of 4:10's or 4:54's which will net you better mpg's. Yeah, these trucks need their rpms just above 2,000rpms to get the best fuel economy.
