It has a daily driver [about 80 hp], tow, exhaust brake, no start, and stock settings. I'm getting about 14.5 mpg. I spent a lot of money trying to get closer to the fabled 20mpg I hear others get. Tried lightening my foot, ng, all sorts of new and improved stuff, but...

AE was the best "mod" I invested in to improve MPG. Getting everything on the truck to 100% did all the MPG improvements, nothing else. The EBP sensor alone put skid marks on the fuel gauge. I say that before I've had a chance to measure my MPG with AC sticks on a 100% engine.

Yeah Rich. I did the ebp sensor and tube. I guess the only thing I haven't done is pressure test the intake...but, I replaced the boots! I got the ae...haven't used it but once to see how it worked. Didn't show any problems, but, I didn't really get into it. Guess I'm kinda' lazy...

It's a sunny warm day in Feb, Stinky's in the garage with his mouth is open and a bunch of new sticks in there, and I'm sitting here drinking coffee and gabbing on the forum. You have not cornered the market on lazy.

There are MPG tips in that last link... plenty of stuff that doesn't throw a code, but whacks the wallet.

Thanks Rich, I'll check that out.
