FUEL MILEAGE

How can you safely improve the mileage of my 6.0 truck its used for highway driving and towing a fifth wheel. I see the new trucks getting grate mileage but who can afford the price of the new trucks .

Well, it has a lot to do with what you want, and are willing to spend. A nice exhaust system deleting certain parts, and a good custom tuned SCT will get you some improvement if you still drive it "nice".

Well, that's why I typed it the way I did. Any fuel mileage gain I would see, would go right through the floor!!! LOL
