damn that's awesome! I'm averaging 11.8 around town. I think it's time for new plugs(still has the factory ones that I'm sure are gapped wrong) and maybe a custom tune

That's what's next on my list of truck mods. Do it you won't be disappointed.

No doubt you will benefit from new plugs and a custom tune! I have already changed my plugs and love how well the truck performs.

Mine had a rough idle and after I replaced the plugs she smoothed out and even more so after she was tuned.

mine still idles smooth, but I can tell it's lost a little power, and mpg has went down. It doesn't have that "pep" it used to have

New plugs and reload your SCT tune will allow the computer to relearn your set up. If anything try a custom tune and it should give you some "pep" back.
