I wonder what, if any, increase in MPG one would get if you changed your tires to lighter, more economical-biased tires. Also, I wonder if there are lighter rims. I would think the lighter rotating mass would help more than any mod (besides driving behavior modification). Depending on what you use your truck for, I would consider a tire and rim that is lighter but still able to handle the payload/towing requirements for your lifestyle.
Of course, I am sure there are some other areas to explore like:
But as its been mentioned before, there wont be any REAL big fuel mileage increases by anything done unless you go radical by making the body and frame out of carbon fiber and drastically alter the aerodynamics of the truck. Hmm...carbon fiber frame
Of course, I am sure there are some other areas to explore like:
- Lowering your ride height
- Switching to Electrical Fan(s)
- Under drive Pulleys for accessories
- Losing weight (both you and your truck)
