<<Got my truck used from the classifieds with 77,000 mi. He was up in
Abilene. Uh, when I drove it home, I had the worst gas mileage - don't
remember what it was right now. Popped on a K&N FIPK and the MP SBEC a
couple months apart. The K&N helped some. For some reason the SBEC helped,
too(a bit more than the K&N). Don't think it should have because I haulin'
butt all the time for the first month I had that. My gas mileage was better
- go figure?! I can get 20+mpg out of it at 85+mph sometimes....
But I conclude by saying your mileage should be better!! I'll try to help
you as best I can, if nothing else, I can just throw around some ideas.
What size tires do you have?

I've got the 31x10.5 Goodyears (stock)... With this SBEC you have to run higher
octane gas, no?
Thanks.
