so this is my first post and im looking to squeeze just a few more MPGs out of my truck, specs are 01 24v, cold air intake, 5 inch turbo back exhaust straight pipe, quadzilla adrenalin programer, and its got a 5 inch lift running 37s. i average about 14-15 mpgs is there anything i can do you up the mpgs to get around 18 or so or should i be happy that im getting 14-15 on a truck this big? i know a truck isn't going to get great mileage but it would be nice to get a little better. any advice? thanks

 

The lift and tires are what's really killing you bud. I get 15 in my 99 eclb with 33's on it. I just changed fuel filter. And that's with.the.hypertech at its highest setting. Soon ill be adding a lp. And tuner.

yeah i know the tires and lift were the big killer, the next thing im gonna do is put some 410s in the axles, and being that i work at a dodge dealership that wont be much of a problem!

 

How old is fuel filter?

Just replaced it not even 1000kshow ago. Now the filters on my airdog system I haven't a clue when they were replaced.

 

Id replace them then as well wont hurt anything. Make sire tire pressure is set correctly. I don't know much about gearing in these trucks. But my 99 running 70- 75 is at about 1800-2000 rpms with 33's. I avg. 15 mpg this last tank but I went 400 miles on it so im happy with that. Soon ill be putting a airdog or Fass on it with a edge cs pr quad. Adrenaline with pulse v2.
