Thank you...I will research right away....I have $1500 worth of Edge sitting on my seat and it just does not seem like such a good idea anymore after all of the postings

hey stroker, do you know what size gears you have? maybe thats the issue. what are your rpms at 60 mph?

[rednek01]

Also how do you accelerate? How long after you turn your truck on do you wait till you drive? How many street lights do you normally go thru? I'm sure you know all this but all these factors matter and then there is all the mechanical factors like your wheel bearings and trans slipage and the list goes on.

I accelerate nice and smooth. I usually wait from 30 seconds to a minute before i drive. I go through 4 street lights to get to work. tranny is 3 months old. wheel bearings are quiet.

To me thats not really an issue if its city driving. If you were 12-14 I would really be concerned. Once the fuel is switched over to summerblend see if you gain any mileage.

[rednek01]

how much do you have in the bed and cab of your truck? Whats your air filter look like? Tryin to come up with a lot of ideas for ya! Maybe we will find something.

thanks rednek. I am open to ANY suggestion as i am not sure if what im seeing is normal. my RPM's at 60 are inbetween 1500 and 2000 i know that at 75 im right at 2000. during both tanks the truck was empty 95% of the time, when it wasnt... it was pulling an enclosed trailer but only for about 20 miles per tank. and it was ALL freeway and it was only 1 time per tank.
I will check and possibly change my air and fuel filters as they have not been changed for about 5 to 10,000 miles.

[rednek01]

I would def look at the filters I got a new air filter and it was like I had a new truck I was amazed at how much of a difference it made

[stroker27]

ill get the new filters then... and see if it makes a difference and report. I just bought another trailer today so the filters might have to wait till payday.
