Mileage sounds right for sure. I've installed a TS 6pos chip recently with custom tunes and gained 2-3 mpg. I'm runnin 315/75-16s with stock 4.11 gears.

Towing my beast of a toyhauler is a different story although it's much easier to tow with custom tunes.

What bumpers are you running? They don't really look like the mainstream stuff that's out right now.

You could plastidip your whole truck. I was quoted about $600 to do my ccsb. But that was from a friend. https://www.dipyourcar.com/home.php

They did an Audi a4(I think it was an a4) and it looked pretty good. I was surprised. They got videos on YouTube they are pretty informative about the product. Better then a lot of other companies are.

And for my 7.3 I changed all my pads and rotors to powerstop drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads that I picked up for $170 off eBay. Bled them all and I'll bed them tomorrow when I go get fuel. Should be fun.
