Check the crank case for oil....See if an injector is leaking
Fill the tank & check mileage/fuel used...See if you are using excessive fuel
Can't trust fuel gauges, they have a very non-linear response.

thanks i just looked at the gauge again and it is setting more towards the full mark
the truck sat for a month and was not driven out of town for two so maybe it just needs driven awhile first before i check it

What size tires do you have on your truck? I have the 4.10 gears and I am around 2100 rpm's at 70 mph.
