I noticed that when I 'baby' or let the engine lug from 0-60 mph and try to sqeeze mileage out I get worse mileage. I start driving it like the reason I bought it for and loe and behold my mileage has increased. No Mod's, just fill her up and go. I don't race it light to light, but I will let a CHEBBY know what's coming or going passed him...HAHAHA

I have an '04,cc,4x4, auto,3:73, 15,000 mi. Started out in the mid 16's rapidly went down hill. It now gets 12.2 to 12.8 anyway I drive it. Truck has been great in all other ways.
Just installed the Superchip in the performance mode. Going on a short trip this weekend will see what this does. Will switch over to the tow/haul program for the return trip home and compare milage.

Check out the tech folder or look at the link below. I think you will like the results of unplugging the EGR, just remember to plug it back in before you go to the dealer.

Those seem to be for 03/04. I'll see if it looks similar on the 05. Looks like a plat plug with 5 or so wires on it from the pick. Even though I have read it's an oval white connector.

I pulled my 03 cobra 1200 miles from wisconsin and got 13.8, 13.4 and 13.1 on the fill ups. I sure the hell wasn't babying it but I kept it under 80. Pulling weight and the load of wood in the bed totalled around 7000lbs.
