I know for a fact this truck had a chip on it before I bought it and had already had some of the intank mods done. Ice had the truck for just over a year now and put 20,000 miles on it. To me it runs the exact same way as when I bought it. The current mods I gave on it are the HPX, FRX, WW, 6637, big boost boots, , int bellowed up pipes and 4-5" exaust turbo back. Also the .50 mod has been done and the #8 ll injector has a normal ad in it's place.

I myself have been chasing a mpg issue like this. I have a right side pull when I brake. I was told to relube the slide pins. Also the right rim will have more brake dust on it than the driver side. How do I check for sticking brakes? Maybe bullas and my issue could be similar

I guess we'll find out once I finish the brakes. I'm not to sure on how to tell if a caliper is bad but the slide pins, if bad they just won't move. Maybe my brakes could of had something to do with it, heck after spending almost 700 bucks on front and rear brakes and rear axle bearings I'd be tickled pink. And here lately I ain't been to tickelish!

You may as well get into the IDM, you've torn into everything else. Get one from one of the shop trucks and see what happens.
