17mpg, keeping it at 65 on the interstate but avoiding the IS as much as possible. I'm planning on new tires within the next couple months (235-85R16s instead of 245-75R16s) and synthetics in the drivetrain, so the lower rolling resistance and synthetics I might see 19 or 20.

Signature truck, with big-ass sail behind the cab.

Got an update on your oil analysis? I don't think I've seen one for a while.
Engine swallowed something :shrug03: split the cylinder, started ticking couldnt find the source so I yanked it out and found a beat up piston and head, as well as a split cylinder, Almost all repaired now, Yep hard road lately. :icon_rolleyes:

Whatever it ate was small cause it passed through, always had an air filter on it. hopefully by the end of August I get it back into the truck, I do all my own work solo so it takes time...

Really "24-26" empty hwy. nice. Mine is a crew cab, long box, 4x4, E4OD, turbo idi (modified a little), Will get around 21 maybe 23ish on the hwy as long as I keep the rpms around 2100. Got even better mileage on a long trip last year but only because I was drafting a semi that happened to also be going 65.

I used to do that in my fiberglass Jeep when I was a kid. Scary stuff. If I got close enough, I could kick it into neutral on downgrades. Really good mileage that way. Look out when they hit the brakes, though!

The more I think about it, I'm lucky to have survived my youth...
