need help...

I need some help. I've done about everything I know to do to get better fuel economy while keep the truck bone stock. Is there a test the dealer can do? I mean really? I've got over 20,000 miles on the dang thing and I'm sucking wind.

I don't really speed. 70 is my speed most of the time.

EMPTY In-Town = 10.34 and Hwy = 12
With Trailer it gets about 9 or 10 on the Interstate.
If the trailer is loaded it'll get anywhere from 6 to 10.


*help*......

I finally decided to delete the emissions junk too. No more driving the truck hard just to keep the junk under the truck from clogging up. I love this truck but everyday I wonder if I'm gonna have issues and yesterday finally was that day. I can't wait to drive the truck easy again and not worry about anything..........
