What might also help with your mileage problem is synthetic oils if you're not already doing so. Nothing wrong with reducing friction in the engine! 14 isn't bad for a big truck like yours! I think the best I could get out of my half ton was around 17 or 18, but that's all highway! I'm running 3.73s so I think once you get that gear swap going you'll be golden. Since my truck doesn't really haul much I would much rather the 3.42s, but it's fun to peel out in front of the seniors' homes once in a while lol
As for the stock system, since I dropped that filter in last year, I had no thoughts what so ever about ever spending money on cold air, because like you said it's drawing air from the fender and it's shielded from the heat of the engine. I've had thoughts about making a straighter pipe out of PVC or something. Would be really cheap!
I might do that throttle body mod once it warms up, I never really thought about that!
That is some dedicaton to be doing any work outside in these temps and it is coming along greatWell it's cold and windy out (calling for around -40 tonight, feels close to that now), but I got a little done to the rig.
"Colourmatched" fenders off parts truck and replaced the hood. This hood isn't in any better shape than my old one (has rust on the front as you can see, and dents/scratches) but at least it doesn't have that horrible cowl-induction piece of crap the PO had set-up for his idea of a cold air intake. Here's a before pic where you can see both the old fenders and hood:
By any chance do any of your other parts trucks have the storage box for the second battery tray?You must be registered for see images attach
