This will save me a ton of money in the long run, especially the upcoming road trip. Thanks for all the info.
Thank you for the update.

You da' man !!!!

Enjoy your truck.........again.

Thanks Bob.

From what I've read around here, 11 MPG city is pretty damn good for a 5.8 on 33's. Does anyone have an idea what I might be getting highway? We're trying to get an estimate how much it'll cost to drive 3600 miles (I know it'll be a lot lol). Think 15 MPG is out of the realm of possibility?

Ummmmm...........

Out of curiosity.........

Did you re-calibrate the PSOM for the "33's" you have on your truck ????
That'll make a difference in driveability and ACTUAL gas mileage too.

I've thought about that and have tried several GPS devices to see how far off the speedometer is and each time it's on down to the exact MPH.
