I lost a little actually....but that may be because of the way I drive

My opinion is: if your want good power AND gas mileage......buy a Honda, if you expect REAL power AND gas mileage your just dreaming.....I get 13 hwy and I'm happy about it

Ya but you have a HEAVY 4x4 2500.


The mods Ive done to my truck have improved the mileage. But I think most of the improvement in mileage came from the exhaust side, not the intake side.

All the mods I have done to my last two trucks actually didn't effect my mileage much at all on way or the other. I'm sure any gains were probably offset by the fact that I can't keep my foot out of it. The mods have been the basic intake and exhaust stuff along with tuning.

Mods listed and I get around 14mpg. I'm not going to complain at all over that.
