Call it crazy, but... (Rear Gears)

[Virginiabound]

Keep your speeds below 60 on the highway, anything higher and you're fighting wind resistance regardless of gearing.

I have 3.73 and Just drove from California through Nevada to Oregon then to Idaho I did 55 and got 19.25 mpg

To be honest I would keep the 3.73

You have the wind to your back?

 

[used97]

Nope there was no wind. I was shocked, I didn't think the truck got that good of gas mileage.

Mine gets 19 easily on the highway going 70. with a wind at my front. I've gotten 19 mpg plenty of times. I hand check it. My dad who rides with me hand checks it. my gf who rides with me to school double checks my math. SO i know its right.

Are you running stock tires or are you lifted?

Best I've gotten is 15.4 from NC to NYC in my 2000 Z71. I have 3.73's ,stock suspension, K&N CAI and dynomax cat-back. Average is like 14.5 normally.

Well, I was concerned about the 3.73 because I have a roughly 50 mile commute on the highway each day to go to work, and it's costing me about 50 bucks every 2 days to get there.

No worries now, got a better paying job, and it's only 8 miles from the house...lol
