Message: [QUOTE="TyCorr, post: 92547, member: 1451"] Get all the deletes done and stud that thing. That'll get potential problems ixnayed. Tuner isnt going to help here, sorry. I can see some of the stock emissions garbage getting in the way as you already stated. Next Id look at aerodynamics as you're pushing an 8k lb brick through the atmosphere(gas). Ive heard that tonneau covers help but they dont in my mind, from an engineering standpoint anyway. I think for rear drag to be taken out of the equation you'd need to build a fairing(kinda like a spoiler) around the rear of the cab. If you're picturing some sci-fi looking bs around the rear of your cab you're getting the right idea. If you arent into changing the 'normal' look of your truck then my other suggestion would be to make sure your tires are aired up to the MAXIMUM psi on the sidewall of your tires(Id probably go 10% higher). Your ram air isnt going to do chit. Plain and simple. If you're looking for mpg then you should only be stepping on the throttle hard enough to accelerate ever so slightly. Im not being a smartass, so please take that into consideration when you read my next statements. Air up your tires, ditch the emissions bs(egr delete and headstuds), change all your fluids to new synthetics, change your filters(fuel&air), and remove EVERYTHING from the truck you dont need. Additionally, you need to make sure your brakes arent dragging. Id suggest going to manual hubs as well. Wheel bearings get serviced every 5k miles? In your situation air intakes, aftermarket exhausts(unless you have a cat and muffler), and electronic tuning arent gonna do sh!t for your mpg's. The best advice is as light of throttle as is possible. Thats then only way to get mpg's in anything. [/QUOTE]
