    A bypass filter will let you run much longer intervals on your oil. It filters the oil more than the regular filters. So that will also save you money on oil changes. You can send in an oil sample about 20k miles and they will tell you what your oil is doing and make recommendations to you.

    Hmmm..that seems unlikely with that gear set up.
    I drove the same type truck with lower gears(3.55) and a 10 speed.
    Governed @ 63MPH..truck wouldn't make 7mpg except when empty.
    Truck was a bit smaller and lighter than yours.
    Now granted you do have skirts which does help.


    ECM tunes do help depending on how you set the parameters for econ/power.

    If you're going by the trip computer it's probably off.

    I'm going by a scan gauge ... And a pencil at fill ups ..

    It it may seem unlikely to you but if you do some emission work and control the exhaust back pressure along with a GOOD ECM TUNE - not just a guy with a laptop and doing injector trim codes . You can do quite well with a 14.0 L Detroit .

    I do got a picture I took for a friend but it's of my trip computer ... But it showed 9.3 my scan gauge is normally 2-3,/10's below the trip computer which is what I go by . My pencil work is normally 3-5 gallons off in a weeks time but that's compensated by the use of the APU not included in the totals

    Same as on GLIDER KIT ( mine is not one ) but the premiss is that if you can effectively make a engine pre emission and get the base fuel levels of ULSD up to peak numbers .. You'd be amazed at what you can do with fuel mileage . By making a truck work less hard you can achieve better results regardless of your rear end ratio . Your peak torque is a huge factor in determining your mpg .. The torque curve and staying in the " sweet spot " for your curve is the key to success . Your torque curve could be a HIGH ARCH or a LOW CURVE .. Without knowing that it's hard to find the optimal situation to run your truck and find success ... For instance. 1800#T @ 1200 - 1350 rpm what is it at 1400rpm or 1500rpm most fall off at higher rpm but some don't .. Knowing those factors saves you a ton of money it's all about staying in the curve to make your engine work more efficiently

    other factors in achieving good results ..

    Over heads - how often do you have them set . I had mine checked the other day just after 80k miles from having one done and I got bad results on cylinder # 2 the valves are not set right .. So it's time again .. Running a simple cylinder cut out test can show you this and what you need done..

    Its all about staying on top of the game .

    No 2 trucks are the same you have to find the specs for your specific truck to retain the results that make you happy ..

    I was at 7.98 mpg second quarter IFTA, running a Cascadia w/dry box, mostly light, I'd say 25k average.
    DD 15 torgue curve is pretty fat, I also run a KR scan gauge (awesome tool), for me its all about boost pressure. Trying to keep it below 10, stepper hills below 15, if I drop below 55, I'll let it roar.

    Yep the KR Scan Gauge is awesome .. And I forgot to mention I watch my boost pressure also
