    Some lift, some armor, some scratches..
    In an attempt to gain back a little of the mpgs that I lost after my new tires, I sea foamed and cleaned my maf. I expect there will be zero results but at least it makes me feel better..

    What are your MPG numbers?

    I have 265/75/16 mud terrains and average 15 in town and 19 on the freeway.. for 16.5 average per tank.

    I cleaned my MAF, changed the air filter, changed the plugs, changed the wires and seriously douched my throttle body...


    ...and saw no MPG gains whatsoever

    all it did was smooth the idle and accelerate easier.. haha mpgs arent effected by much on the engine unless shit is all fouled up...

    I have changed plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, maf cleaned throttle body cleaned, intake manifold off and cleaned, throttle cable replaced with new, New clutch and flywheel, oil change, all diffs and transmission and transfer case oil changed, New drive shaft and third member... 0 mpg gains... but its smooth as silk now.. lol

    and maintenance is done for a few years on a few off the checklist...

    I have done everything listed in the last 10k miles... and my mileage has not changed but the truck drives sooooo much better....

    Yeah I need to buy a grease gun and a couple of different types of grease and go to town on my drive shafts. I don't think it's ever been done.

    But I'm still reading the how-to walkthrough and trying to learn.
