Default 97-03 mpg
What kind of mileage are you guys getting in your truck? I've got an 97 with a 4.6l 4x4 and I'm getting 10-12, everything under the hood is pretty much stock. I've got larger tires on which is affecting it I'm sure. Let me know what mods you've done to it as well to get a little better mileage.

About 14.5. Sometimes higher, but rarely. 4.2, 2wd, Supercab. Stock tires, and no lift whatsoever.
