Fuel mileage stayed about the same with me...

id say ur having some issues probably with timing or something else if your mileage is that bad. Has the timing been checked? or verified correctly? any fuel leaks? hows the overflow valve? and what about the fuel filter?

These all impact ur mileage..

Oh and keep ur tire pressure up...

Im sorry its a bit off topic, but with the same plate that you have, 16.5 degrees timing, and same stock (garbage) 370 injectors, i got the same as stockers... They just horribly gag you at idle, and are pretty cruddy in comparison to DDps or II injectors... I dont like 370s, but they are a good bang for the buck...

I have those? It does stumble at idle or anything? It lopes every now and then when its cold and im at a stop light or something. I do have the problem of the truck stalling when i suddenly let out of it. Like if Im backin up in reverse and step on it hard and let out, it sometimes dies, but my idle is where it was before the injectors?

I ran 300 Marines from City and then changed over to 370's from them too. No problems at all with either set. MPG only goes down if I keep the skinny pedal on the floor vs stock 180's.

I don't get any stumble with the 370s, the only stumble I get is when the hybrid turbo trips and falls flat on it's face trying to keep up with the fuel.
