how many miles? when was the last tune-up? for better mileage there really isnt anything out there that will give you noticable differences. My best advise is to keep the maintanence regular especially on the fuel and air filter, and you can switch to a synthetic motor oil. believe it or not they can help but like I said nothing huge.

get a k&N air filter that will help some and i exhaust helps some too your not gunna see a huge difference but it works and hey why not make your truck sound like its a truck

put low profile tires on it, that will definatle help.

thanks for the ideas i will try those. i know i wont see a big change but wanted to try and get a little more gas milage out of it. thanks again.

regular oil change and a clean air filter is really all you can do. lots of gimmics out there, so be careful not to waste your money.

oh, i got a muffler bearing for sale if anyone is looking for one. it should fit all 2.5" pipes

An adapter or something that looks suspiciously like a bolt splitter ?
