Changing Low Gearing
OMG! I got my truck Friday and I get terrible mpg!!
I'm lucky to get 70 miles per 1/4 tank. That's normal driving too.
Something needs to be changed asap!
My '92 Cummins seemed to get better mpg even though I drove the hell out of it and that truck is low-geared too!

When I got my 06 it got 15mpg and thats a 4X4 6spd g56. i put a k&n intake and removed the silencer ring and straight piped it and put a set of 33s on it and now i get about 20-22mpg. the exhaust on these trucks are very restrictive especial with the cat get rid of that crap and u should notice a difference

But I ordered a delete pipe and a MBRP muffler 2 days ago. I've been looking at intakes but it'll have to wait til after Christmas or so.
The other day, I filled up and now I'm on half-tank. Did mostly highway miles and it looks like I'm getting about 17.1 mpg. It looked better when I calculated off of 1/4 of a tank...
Ya get rid of the cat it will sound a lot better and get better fuel mileage. I wouldn't waste money on a muffler just my opinion. You can take the silencer ring out at anytime. Keep the 12valve if you can you will miss it.

It's a regular occurrence for me to get stuck in my own driveway with 4x4 and 33" tires. Stupid snow and their stupid drifts!
