Keep us posted on mpg's. I am getting about 17-18 mpg around Houston. Similar truck but I have 3.73 gears, curious to see if you do better with 3.55 gears.

Can someone explain gears? I have 3.55 but don't get what that means?

In your rear axle you have a set of gears that determines how high your rpms are at a given speed. Like the gears at the back wheel of a bicycle. The smaller the number the lower the rpms. You have a very good all around set of gears.
