    You guys could put them on containers when ya haul them and you'd get better mpg's then the Dry van guys lol! Also you could put a Rice burner wing on the back to make it pickup the load it would be magical!

    Wow! the engineers that tested your truck in a wind tunnel probably did all that can be done for aerodynamics. As Robin Williams said "Don't buy stupid #####.

    Your supposed to put the airtabs on your wheels. After you get the truck up to highway speed they create a vortex of wind energy in side your wheels and propel the truck.

    Why not put 2 or 3 rows of Air Tab's on then you would get 2-3 X the fuel savings :biggrin_25522:

    How dare you guys question these magic fuel saving devices! You know there is someone reading this WITH air tabs on their truck just itching to post their amazing results but knows they'll be laughed down the river.
