    cleaned the MAF and throttle body it might have helped a bit but i also have no muffler, exhaust leaks and possibly 02 sensor code?? what would be the biggest contributing factor to this bad MPG

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Maybe brake cables stuck on

    I don't know where you're located, but in Minnesota this time of year it could be short trips in sub-zero weather. Mine's gotten as low as single digits a couple of times. It averages about 18.5.

    If the exhaust leaks are upstream and/or near the AFR/O2 sensors you should probably address those first, next would be if you still have codes see what those are and address those.
