Newbie from SE Texas

Hey guys. I new to the Forum. I have a 2008 Pearl Black 2500 Megacab Laramie 4X4. I have added a 4" lift, 35" Toyo Open Country M/T tires, 20" Diamo wheels, and Bushwacker Pocket Flares (painted to match). I've got 24,000 miles. It is my first diesel truck, and I love it. However, I am only getting about 12.5 mpg. I want to add some aftermarket parts to help with the gas mileage, but I don't want to void any warranties. Any suggestions?????

Welcome to the DTR!

You may have to delete some stuff to get better MPG's, but there goes your warranty...

Get on the pre-order list for the S-67 Smarty.

Welcome to DTR!!

I know you won't want to hear it, but that lift and tires is not helping any mileage situations!

Doing things that void your warranty is the only way to get better mileage.
