I think I'd jump on a gear swap with someone if they were resonably close, where are you at?
I agree, there has to be something off on those trucks that are getting crap for mileage. I would suggest getting an oil analysis done at 5000 miles on the oil... see how much fuel is in it. if there is minimal, then you can rule out a leaky injector.
also if you have an open intake & exhaust, that will kill your mileage.

Sure wish you lived near me. I have 4:11s and want lower gears, OH Well.

depends... if you have an open exhaust meaning straight thru muffler & no cat nope, you'll lose mileage. add some backpressure by installing the 4040 aero and you'll be ok. there are alot of things that contribute to your mileage but in general, open exhast & open intake = drop in mileage with part throttle driving but a boost in top end performance.
edit: forgot to add that the way the motor runs is night & day compared to the stock airbox. wouldnt trade mine for anything... well almost.... I'd like to do a custom intake setup.

i know there was a thread a while ago about oil analysis but i cant seem to find it....... whats the website or address to send oil to??? i might wait another thousand miles and give it a better chance to wear more so that way i can get a better analysis of everything rather than sending them fresh oil...

thanks steve! im gonna look into that in the near future and see, because i would rather fix a problem and be happy with mileage b4 i spend money on any other mods.... plus if it is injectors it would give me an excuse to go in there and get better ones ill keep y'all posted for those who have bad mileage also
