I feel like im in jail trying to keep my 04 at 2000rpms on the hwy. the paedal feels to good to my #11 foot. Especially if theres a powerstroke comin in my rearview ,IL send it to the redline b4 IL let em go around. Sorry guys, OLD guy in a bad A%$# truck. I got the privelage to eat a 6.0 on I-85 northbound yesterday. I romped down on it at 75mph and pulled away 2 lengths. It would not let me go after 3200rpms or I woulda really burned him. Dont be alarmed, it was830am sat morning (no traffic)[sm=gears.gif]

I don't know how you guy's do it.

Last week I got a whopping 12.16mpg. I DID forget to add the brew to that tank though. When I DO remember, I seem to get in the 14's. Still not as good as you guy's for some reason, but at least I'm outta the 12's.

Now why do you think he needs bigger tires on his truck other then to lose mpg and good money BTW, I saw 15.4 mpg on my first tank of fuel [sm=icon_rofl.gif]

Anybody out there running the 295/70R/17E MT Toyos or something similar? What psi are you running in them????? I just checked my tire pressure, it was only 40psi in each. The tires say 80psi is the max. I just put 65psi in them. I think could this may helpme withacheiving a little better mpg. The only adverse thing that I forsee happening is hitting a chuck hole and spilling my beverage all over my lap and windshield or bitting my tounge off.
