Good morning Dave!
I have not hardly drove the truck at all. Once I got it home from TX I washed it and parked it in the shed till just last week. I took it out one Friday evening for a quick 80 mile trip and then down to Minneapolis last weekend where the mods were done. Drove it home and parked it in the shed again so I have not checked mileage since I drive home from TX. I will report back once I have some miles on it but that will be a little bit yet. It snowed again and I am trying to keep it out of the salt and snow.

Mine was modded when I got it. On the drive home from TX I averaged about 17. All highway, going 75 for a lot of it. 60 for a decent chunk. During winter with the crap fuel and idle times and all around town driving about 14.
Still around 16-17 on empty or light loads highway. Got 16.5 with the 4 sleds and trailer Maybe 6500 lbs...
I've done a few for customers with delete and tune. In general they all report about 2-3 MPGs better after they stop playing with their new toy...

Gah! Some people just shouldn't even open the hoods of their trucks let alone work on them.
