Please explain how using more fuel will increase your mileage. Please tell
us more about this truck, tires, rear gears, transmission, 2wd or 4wd.

Imo All these mileage improvement things are just to get ya to spend your
money. All ya can do is tune it, change the fluids and filters regularly,
keep the air up in the tires and drive like there is a egg under your right
foot. Remember it is a truck.

I know that you can adjust the computer for more horsepower, but can you take some power out of it to get better fuel economy? I'm 40, and dont care about all the power but want to save some on my 14 miles to the gallon highway. If you can how or who can do it. (please dont sugest the dealer) Richard
