I wasn't going to mention anything, but since you hinted to it, synthetics in the drivetrain and engine can give a conservative increase in fuel mileage...as well as other benefits. Any interest there, I can give you the lowdown
Thanks for the servcie you have provided to us all!!

I have a 98 1/2 to I added the edge juice with additude to mine and I am loving it. I also added a fass 90/150 fuel pump to it as well, I heard to many bad things about the stock pump and didnt want to chance it. I have an AFE stage 2 intake and 5 inch turbo back exhust too I am planning on doing a few more things to it that is why I went with the 5 inch.. My mileage went from 16 mpg to 21 mpg, as long as i keep my foot of the skinny pedal and the black smoke from rollin out the back, ( but that is why I bought a diesel). the truck is a 5 speed 4x4 and I havent had a problem witht the clutch yet but I know I will soon. I have only had the truck for 9 months now. and put 15,000 miles on it, it only had 50,000 when I got it.

Thanks for doing what you are doing over there

first of all welcome.
First, get you an edge juice with attitude(stay away from the quadzilla adrenaline(yes luke i still hate it). THe attitude monitor shows you every guage you'll ever need. mines been acurate and verified with stand alone mechanical guages that im running.
2nd, 4inch MBRP turbo back, running it on 3 trucks of mine right now, love it.
3 Airraid is good, AFE is another. However, i do reccomend a non-oiled filter though. sometimes the oiled ones can damage your turbo if its overoiled by mistake(AKA k&n filters) or if you really want to stay cheap, running a BHAF(big honkin air filter)

thats good. it was a big drag to people like me. you spend so much on a programmer then you still have to buy a fuel pressure gauge. so now it's more appealing to me if I didn't have my edge. been 2 years with the edge now
