Sounds pretty good but it would be helpful to know what the specs of the truck are.

V10 auto with 4:30 gears 4X4 single cab I avg 13 MPG up mtn road and hwy. I avoid the City but I expect slight drop there too.

Funny my dad had a 99v10 motor home. He installed the Banks trans and motor kit and got 2 MPG better at 65MPH. The bar of soap climbed hills better and everything too. I was curious about the same for my truck but not sure it would pay off.

Sound pretty good. My truck gives average of about12 MPG and see a slight drop in the city. I even tie the goods with heavy duty grade 70 chain binder unfortunately which adds some more weight on the truck.

Wow, I only get 11 MPG everywhere I go. And if I am not super light on the pedal I get 8MPG.

How are you guys getting 12 and 14?
