Except for the psi mistake, this is right on. It takes a lot of power to get 8k lbs moving.

Also agree with all the others, real good advise.

Fwiw, I get 18 mpg in my 100% stock truck. No EGR delete, no custom exhaust, no tunes, not even the atlas 40 tune from Ed for my FICM, thou its on my wish list... I think mileage on these is ore about quality fuel and how you drive than the bells and whistles you can get added on...
