Look into commerical bio that you can get at the pump.
Truck does run quitier with bio and smells way better than dino .

Prior to this on a long significant hill the truck would start to lose speed but did not downshift unless I pushed more on the throttle. My truck is an 05 with 97,000 miles on it. Tomorrow I'm going to take the EGR out and clean it but before I do hook it up again I will take my weekly 500 mile trip to northern Minnesota and check to see if there is any change in mileage. For the past 2 years it was almost always 17.4 mpg at 75 mph without a significant headwind.
I'll let you all know what I find out.
