Checked out some bad injector/bad ficm startup videos on youtube and the good news i guess is that my truck is not nearly as bad to start/smoke like them so i guess thats not it....my truck will idle fine it was just that little bit of white smoke that got me worried. Is that a sign that it will eventually turn into that?

Little update: ran the looney fuel and was getting 8.5 mpg as opposed to my 10mpg on the regular looney?!!!?!? Switched back to the looney now and getting a consistant 10-11 on the dash. Ran my buddys scangauge 2 and all my numbers were fine. Why would the looney fuel have worse mpg? Help

Had a couple hundred pounds in the truck and got 19mpg. I might be sold on diesel kleen

Before injectors work and 4 bad -17mpg
After work with some atf in tank - 16 -17
Diesel kleen 19

Id like to try optilube on the hwy because when i had it in the tank i got 16 hwy/city.

How aero dynamic are out cabs. I heard tail gate doesn't matter up or down. Weight though.

I use the #road trip le app for iPhone and I am averaging about 11.5 mph. The in dash display is close to this, within .5 mpg.
Airaid filter
4" lift
35" Toyo mt's @ 50psi
Amsoil full syn oil
Current fuel add is the XDP brand. I used diesel kleen last time and was getting 1mpg better.
Truck is otherwise STOCK.
70,000 miles

You know, I'm not feeling so bad about my MPGs after seeing this thread, I actually feel a little proud of my truck

I haven't run any diesel kleen or any other fuel treatments, and I've got a bunch of junk in the back of my truck. Damn, I bet if I started running additive and cleaned out the truck, I might have the highest MPG 6.0 around
