Papa Tiger owns a 2.7L 4X2 Sport crew cab now. It just turned 100 miles so it is too early to give any statistic except 16.1 lifetime average. 3.73 electronic locking axle with tow package. Has real nice giddy up through the shifts. Lol

Sure can, that's what mine is. E-locker, XLT, 301A, tow package. Not sure what various combinations would land you with 3.31 gears, but it is certainly possible.

Nice. I have 3:55, will have to check the towing rating with the 3:31, can't be very high. 3:55 is 7600 pounds ish.

Just did my 20000 mile oil change. Last change at 10K when I went with Amsoil 5W-30XL. As for gas economy: Just before the 4th came back from Michigan (460 miles) all interstate at speed limit + 2mph Got 24.4 mpg. Since then, all local (386 miles) got 21.6 mpg. Very happy with that. All hand calculated as my dash still computes 7% high.
Question for the forum: Does "leveling" a truck decrease MPG by increasing the drag by allowing more airflow beneath the vehicle?

Default Speaking of tunes

Superchips just used my 2.7 for some final product testing on a tuner. I've been using the program but I'm waiting for the numbers from them and will let you guys (and gals)😁 know.

yes. Basically more air disruption more drag.
