    Sounds like you got a new low nox tune. My truck had one and I got 4.8-5.3 mpg. Got a pdi tune and turbo and i get 6.1 with winter blend and idling a lot. Summer was a consistent 6.7+mpg. Mr Haney can get you a upgraded turbo and a tune an ull be very surprised.

    I had a 01 6NZ, 18B, 46 rears with 3.90, 11R24.5. I wasted the money back in 02 at milton and got the same results. No difference in power.

    rears 3:90 are strong, so then there is the full proof that dealer & cat dealer turn ups dont work, only work to burn more fuel. a.k.a. just wasting money
