Default Re: Horrible gas mileage, I mean horrible.....

I think he means Seafoam. Very popular on here. Chevron Techron works very well too, just get the one for up to 20 gallons and run the tank to damn near empty. Then repeat.

While I did not notice a difference in fuel mileage changing my differential fluid, the truck performed a lot better afterward (change it every 50,000 miles).

The tires you use DO make a difference. Most truck tires are fuel suckers but there are some that have good rolling resistance, they will be a highway tire or an all season tire. There is no such thing as a low rolling resistance all terrain or mud tire that I've ever seen (I've done quite a bit of research on tires in general before getting mine).

Good luck!
