this was the load, full camping gear for 4 people, 3days, and all 4 in the cab.

Well, I'm down to 12 mpg again, but that's cause i run 8%-10% grades all the time and I don't have a turbo. Having the IP turned up a bit don't seem to help much either, I will be turning it down today as right now I can make lots of smoke even in 3rd gear at 2000 rpms.

This I can believe, truck pulling a load and getting decent milage. Anybody with 4:10s ain't getting over 20 mpg without a BIG overdrive

So I've noticed that it seems like all you guys breaking 20's (or claiming to) have 2WD's...I'm sure that helps.
I actually have a set of 3.55's sitting in my garage that I bought for my truck...I just haven't really wanted to pay the $500-ish it would cost to get them installed. Ah well.
I'm barely breaking 13 mpg lately...even on highway trips. I rarely go above 65 on the highway yet I still only get 13 mpg even if I drive 2 hours. Doesn't make sense.
I'm hoping my new lift pump will help with that but who knows.

well MY CLAIM..hahaha is that I average 15-16 city and 17-19 highway with a locked up fan clutch that went bad that way and 211,568 miles on the original injectors but rebuilt IP as of 185,---. Suck my big toe LMAO. Best I ever got with my N/A was 21 with a my yearly load of christmas trees. Guess I attribute that to the down grades coming back down doing 75 coasting. lol
