Do you have Injectors? If not a set of RV injectors will help you squeak alittle bit more out of it.

arent injectors expensive to put in though?

No they a set of RV 275 would be a few hundred bucks and you can do it yourself in a about 2 hours or so

i went from the factory 245-75-16's up to a 285-75-16 and noticed a hair better milage it dropped my rpm at 70mph

i turn around 1800 at 75 mph down the black top but i do not have an acurate odometer or speedometer. i rely on my programer to tell me my speed. anybody know were i could get the different gears in the speedometer cable on the transmission end so that my odemeter and speedo would be accurate? thanks for the help
