    I would back you up if you posted evidence of the numbers you are posting. But you won't, because you are finding out that you are wrong.

    This is about 80% true :)

    I'm obsessed with MPG, not crazy though. If I was crazy, I'd remove the airbags for weight reduction. Damn things make me nervous though...just thinking that they can pop out and punch me in the face. Eh...

    I'm ordering a scanguage soon...

    I know I'm right, but by how much is the question...I partially agree with you.

    2% right, is 98% wrong. Not even asking for a scan guage reading, real mileage would suffice.

    ex. "I filled up when I had 346 miles on the trip monitor, I put 18 gallons in the tank. Therefor I got 19 mpg. Then I installed the electric fan, and got 360 miles, put 17.8 gallons in the tank. 20 mpg"

    This is how you prove your claims. You have thrown around arbitrary numbers that have no credibility because you haven't done this leg work.

    I average 18 with my 33 inch tires. 20 is about average for a stock 4x4 V6.

    No. I'm lifted with 32's and still get (according to the computer) 20-21 interstate @ 70

    Yeah, that's the on board computer so realistically I figure it's 18-19 highway

    Yes, I do agree with that statement, but I'll explain why. I put all this stuff in the truck, within like the last 6 months. I didn't give myself enough time to do testing. All I know is that I'm landing 400 miles per tank now, and when I first bought the truck in February 2013, I couldn't even hit 300. I think my best run (driving like an eggshell was under my pedal) was like 326miles to a tank, before I started modding. Now, as long as I go easy, I can hit 400 almost everytime, no matter the terrain (almost). A scanguage would easily tell me what my MPG is as of today, and that's what I need.

    Has anybody heard of Fluid Damper or ATI Lightweight Dampers? Any personal experience?

    Also, any personal experience with the Uni-Chip? Does it really save gas like they swear by?

    If the Uni-Chip provided even 1 extra MPG, it would be worth the money.
