I posted awhile back about how I wasnt happy with my fuel mileage. I did some testing and recorded a bunch of numbers. I just was able to get my 325 60 18 Nitto Terra Grapplers installed last week. As soon as they were installed I went to recalibrating the speedo. My fuel mileage has deffinetly went up with just the switch to all terrain tires. Im hoping it will go up some more after I get my intake and boost fooler put on towards the end of the next week. The truck has 23,450 miles.

70 mph = 2000 Rpm
75 mph = 2150 Rpm


I'll post some more results as soon as I get the intake and boost fooler installed.

What are some more ways to squeeze some more mileage out of it. Would stacking it with a Xzillaraider get a little more mpg??
