    weird, you need to mess with it a little bit then, cause no way you should be ideling that low, try turning up the tuning and adjusting your shift points and see if that helps. i'm running 33's and get 17+ on an all highway trip running at 1700 rpm's going 60. plenty of power to get over the hills without downshifting.

    holy crap you do have sucky gears. you need at least 3.55's but 3.73's would be even better.

    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    trucks go in parking garages? lol. yea, gears if you keep the height on the truck. this will put you back into the mpg range you want. I had been running my 35's on a 3.55 but then swapped to a 4.30. the 3.55 was getting me just barely 12mpgs. the 4.30 gets me easily 16+ cty/hwy, and i get 22mpg if I am hwy only doing 65-68 (keepin it under 70 and not tachin over 2k is the key to good gas mileage).
