Well i dont know if it told you but that was my very best and that was all highway driving. my truck is only 2wd and i barely ever haul. i got straight exhaust and a k&n filter. that and autolite copper plugs. i can take a pic of the trip and how much gas i put in and do the math on here to prove it. not tryin to be a dick. i just got on here to get answers to my questions and talk to other dodge guys.

Dude I get less than 9 mpg in mine. It's 2wd RCLB and it kills me. My paycheck goes solely towards gas for the most part.

well tough ram, you must have gotten the golden egg.
here is a good run down for plenum replacement. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/diy-do-...e00ram360.html

use a flashlight and look down into the TB, if you see any pooling of oil in the intake manifold you need to replace.
