80% power when new?
When I was test driving new trucks, one of the salesman told me the 6.2 only makes 80% of its power before 2k miles. Was this a line of B/S? I didn't buy the truck from them, I got a better deal at another dealer I've used for years. I didn't even sit inside this truck before I bought it. Truck feels very strong, to strong to be 80%.

I have been tracking mpg on mine since day one. 21000 miles daily driver 11.5 in combo city/hwy. I am eventually going to tune it but been too busy to deal with it
PS the lie o meter always shows a mile or two better

My unmodified truck averages 13.8 mpg.
