Yeah im thinking the vp is weak, but if you are looking for more mileage as well the rv275 injectors would be a good choice as well

What are some symptoms of the vp44 going bad besides bad mileage?

I'm right with you guys in the poor mileage club, gonna change the fuel filter tomorrow and hopefully that will help some. Getting 10 mpg around town is aggrivating. :dang:
Ive had the stock LP and IP replaced with no change... I think they are out again and going to upgrade this time to see if this helps... hope we can figure this out:pca1: |

3.55 gears, 285/70/17 coopers, to the best of my knowledge speedo is at factory settings (only owned it for about a month and a half) 261,000 miles. Not sure last time valves were adjusted. How bad is it to adjust valves on one of these?
|
dont forget big tires and a lead foot kill milage. also if you have 410 gears you cant go over 60 mph without killing milage.

I thought mine was bad!!! I get around 15mpg back and forth to work on the highway with a stock ip and stock lp with 170,000 on the truck its an 2001. installing air dog 150 and edge juice/attitude with the cts this weekend hopefully that brings it up some... let us know what you figure out to be bad
|
Any more suggestions? Been getting a pretty steady 12.5 mpg lately...:argh:
