    alright guys, so I used half a tank so far, filled up on 1/4 and now on 3/4 and 165 miles. So I figured it out to about 13 mpg so far, and that's both in town and highway driving. That aint to bad for having it only a couple of days. now having my reverse lights shipped and the led hyper flash fix coming in also

    How are you fixing the hyperflash? Buying the relay at Napa is the easiest

    Your mp seems low. Did you reset the tripometer when you filled up? Divide the gallons at your next fill up by miles driven and you'll have your real mpg. the gauges on these truck read funky

    well I found a flasher at o'reillys auto store, so what I am going to do tomorrow is install the flasher and bulbs I have on hand, if this flasher don't work I will put the stock bulbs in and put the regular flasher back in and wait till I get home and install the correct flasher. Since I will be gone when my reverse led's come in and the correct flasher

    well guys the flasher didn't work out. it says heavy duty flasher on it but it didn't work, so when I come back from work I will have a set of reverse led bulbs and a flasher ready to install in my truck.

    It should say EP-27L The L stands for LED and has the higher resistor in it.
