05 Flash 6.0 psd

Does anyone know if there is a new flash for the 05s? I picked my truck up on Nov 8, 04. My mileage is terrible... I'm getting about 10-12mpg. Truck is stock. I've got the predator tuner installed - 10 mpg on 100 hp, 12 mpg on 65, and 12 mpg in stock mode. I've got 10,000 miles on it. When I first got it I was getting 15-16 mpg and it's been getting worse.

Just changed them to 325x65x18's. There the same as 33x12.50s. But I had this decrease in mileage before tires.

Skinnier tires, higher inflation pressure, and wax frequently. By the way, get rid of all that Edited you put on your perfectly capable truck, you can't have your cake, and eat it too.

Thanks for the input Mr. GreenJeans. I had the skinny stockers on, over and under inflated and it looks good waxed frequently.

Long Island? Where? Would never have been so harsh, had I known you were from the normal part of the country (duck).
