Also, another thing to consider is what gears you are runnin? Mine has 4.10's and honestly for what I use the truck for, and with the granny low in the 6 speed, I've conddred dropping to a 3.73 or 3.55. I have so over the road hauled friends that run a taller gear strictly for the milage. They say with the granny low, the 4.10's are pointless. I know im revving at around 2200 rpm's down the highway at 70.

When I bought the truck I took it to a shop and they said the injectors were fine. that was 10,000 miles ago. I was told if they were bad it would smoke at a idle. Mine dont smoke when idling and only slight smoke at full throttle. I have heard that 13.5 was normal for my truck and some people say they get 20+. Id be happy with 19-20 mpg.
mine is 4x4 auto getting ready to be lowered 2" all around with 285 60r18 nitto terra grapplers.

All of you are doing better than my 08 F350 dulley. Ran from Cleveland to Hamilton yesterday pulling a 12 ft. box that was empty. I got 11.2 mpg running 65 mph. Pulled my 20' box last weekend with my Wrangler in it. I got 9.7 mpg at 200 miles round trip. At 4.00 a gallon this thing is killing me!!!!:mad:sigpic

I've got a 06 with a 6.0 (yeah, I know) and a SCT tuner on the performance setting. Around town, I get around 16, on the highway, I can get around 19 if I set the cruise and not get in a hurry. On the 65 hp tow setting, I get around 13 or 14 depending on terrain. That's hauling a deckover with a Jeep on it.

I use an '02 van with a 5.7, a quad in the van, pulling my 28' toy hauler full with a tracker and 2 quads only get like 6-7mpg I think it needs a tuneup and that's horrible mileage, but I guess if I'm only gonna be getting 12-14mpg anyays with a diesel then I guess I should just be happy i'm not making payments on one91 Geota Exo'd on 35" Tractors etc.

You can improve on that, but I would wait until you get closer to the end of your warranty.1988 Suzuki Samurai on propane
