Perf mods aimed at fuel mileage
Perf mods aimed at fuel mileage
I would like some options on improving fuel mileage.
I have a 03 555 and I am currently getting 18.5, almost all highway and my truck is practically stock.
My situation is this, I do field service repair in the midwest and avg 65000 miles/year
I don't usually pull a trailer but I do carry spare parts and tools.
I went across the scales recently at slightly over 4 ton.
I am not really concerned with power (
) per se but any improvement in mileage would
quickly pay for itself.
I know there are several dealers here and thought they may have a suggestion
on what to spend my tax refund
I figure getting smoother flow of air in and exhaust out would help but I thought I ask the experts that have collectively already done about every mod out there and try to figure what works best.
I appreciate any help I can get.

IF you are truly wanting economy then talk to one of the vendors here or check the online store for the Xzillaraider XZT. It is truly economical. It givess 65hp and increases economy. It is also VERY affordable!
