Ya I remember your thread. Boost leak? Fuel leak? Improperly tuned afc? Slipping trans? Could be a lot of things (that I dont know )

Just an afc thats not setup correctly. Fueling too much down low, laying it on too thick up-top and putting out the fire etc. AFC tuning is an art and does take some skill..

Well my first tank w/ the straight pipe, bhaf, and fuel plate with me harping the SH*T out of the truck in all city driving resulted in 14mpg. We'll see what happens when I start babying it and when I go on a 600mile round trip on the highway next weekend!

MONSTER DIESEL Additive. little on the expensive side but does work... Cleaning injectors, increases like 3-5 mpgs, and improves performance.
