do you have any gauges? you would be fine running a 100 for towing but you should have gauges to watch your egts and if its an auto the tranny wont last long, whats all done to your truck?

The #100 fuel plates is just like the #0 plate in the higher rpm ranges, but in the lower the #100 uses less fuel. So it increases the power of your truck quite a bit.

Is it fair to say that on a mechanicaly injected motor, your mileage is ultimately controlled by your foot??
