14 miles per gallon?
Do you carry a load with you or do any towing? What kind of trails are you driving in -- mountains, flat highways, around town for quick stops, etc? What psi are you running in the tires? Feed us some details...
Also, I found an old post from 2001 about a 1991 truck that might be of use for you... just click here and scroll to about the middle of the page.

That 14mpg is measured on highway use, non-towing with 33" Toyos at the recommended psi. I have the 3.73 rear end. Then when I pull my 24' Cierra I don't even bother with the mpg check.
Have you ever heard of checking the timing of the fuel pump?

What ECU code is your truck running on? That can make a difference. I've got the PMT3 and if I run with my chip shut off I get about the same mpg as your getting, alittle better with the chip if I keep my foot off the floor.
