I have the same truck and I'm lucky if I get 12mpg!!!

What type of fuel injectors did you use. A stock rig probably should use 19lbs injectors.

Welcome aboard!

Only 19# injectors should of been put back, check to make sure you've got the right ones.

Do a computer diagnostic test by checking the computer codes to see what the computer has to say for itself. You can use the search function under "computer codes" to pull up previous topics here that will explain how to do so.

Find out if your computer has any trouble codes that indicate a potential problem area to start looking at.
