fuel economy
okay so i have a 99 ram 2500 4x4 with edge juice w/ attitude, BHAF, airdog 2 150gph, s&b intake horn and tube, 4" full exhaust, built ats trans, and 4.10 gears.
it is on blocks and has 265/70r16 tires and im getting 15.5mpg avg. this seems quite low as my past cummins trucks got 20-25mpg on a bad day. my last 12v dually got 15mpg.
i baby the fuel and drive mostly highway and the tuner is on lvl 1 always. i use diesel kleen as well.
im confused as to why the fuel economy would suffer this bad :'(

Wow that is kind of low. Possible valve adjustment maybe. They should be done around 75K. 4.10 gears probably don't help the situation too much either, depending on your average speed driven..i.e. if it's well above the 1800 rpm fuel economy sweet spot. Your fuel pressure is ok too, correct? Could have a plugged filter or something. Never rule out sticky or dragging brakes either. That got me once before. On another note, jeez...I bet that truck flies. NICE.
