Question How do you know if LP is goin? Mileage dropping BAD!!!

Is there any way to know if it is going? Or does your truck just stop running? Let me know getting terrible mileage and its getting worse. Down to 13.5 on the highway not towing anything. Help. I got 13.5k on the truck since mid october.

The original air and fuel filter? If so, change them.

When my LP went, the engine just started bucking and then died. Was able to restart it but it didn't run long.

Get a fuel pressure gauge if pressure is very low or is getting worse from when you got it then LP is going out. But Haven't seen too many on new dodges going out as I think Dodge fix there LP problems.

I've had two die, one went like instamus and the other just seemed to lose power over time like a week or so, then truck was weaker than stock so I replaced it and got that happy feeling again
