    It's working pretty well so far. Once I got over the apprehension of possibly bricking the trucks ECU I tried a few different tunes and have settled on the one below for the moment.

    You can definitely tell the truck has a bit more omph, especially if you step on it to pass at say 40mph. It just flat out gets up and goes.

    Things I really like are, no seatbelt chime, super low volume door open chime, and setting the throttle sensitivity where it's not so twitchy when starting from a stop.

    I thought I may have picked up 1mpg when I filled up the other day but I thing the pump was shutting off prematurely even though I went through 3 "clicks" of auto shutoff, if that makes sense. It looks like I was about a half gallon short of a normal fill. We'll see how that works out on the next few fillups.

    Today I drove like the old man that I am.

    I decided to take the day off today and drive the 73 miles to my mom's to do some little "fix it" things around her house. When I go down there I usually drive 75-80 mph but today I decided that I'm in no hurry and, no matter how painful it is, I'm going to keep it at 65 max.

    Normally, 95% of my driving is in town, stop and go, and my digital readout has been stuck at 14.8 mpg (haven't reset it since I've had the truck), which seems pretty close to what the Fuel Log app on my phone says.

    Screenshot_20180202-174516.jpg

    At 0715 I left the house and hit reset on the digital mpg readout. The drive to my mom's house is relatively flat for the most part, nothing steep or long, with a 2,500 ft gain in elevation over the 73 miles. There was really no wind to speak of either. All acceleration was done with a pretty light foot but not light enough to piss off anybody behind me (e.g. NO hypermiling or driving like I'm in a friggen Prius).

    Sticking to my plan to not exceed 65 mph :confused:this is what the readout showed roughly a 150 miles later when I rolled back into the carport this afternoon.

    IMG_20180202_152237364.jpg

    So, I guess the moral of the story is, if you're looking for somewhat decent mpg's, drive like an old man.

    Boy, that's no lie.

    I was being passed by everything. Got in behind a big diesel motor home on the way back and just stuck there, which was a bit less embarrassing.

    Not going to make it a habit though. I just wanted to see what it would do if I was disciplined.

    Currently averaging 12.5mpg with 90% city driving. I'm going to be moving from CA to CO totaling 1,170 miles and will hopefully get around 14-15mpg. I'll be loaded down and going 80mph for some parts of UT and CO where the speed limit allows. Will post up what the reading says after I reset it and make the trek.

    I gave mine some boring old maintenance. Oil and filter change, greased the u-joints, checked and adjusted tire pressures, and changed spark plugs. I also changed the oil in both diffs and the transfer case a few weeks back.

    grinded my front sway bar ala @boardude to gain more clearance between sway bar and bottom of coil overs so now instead of square it's round. Just need some paint to touch up. I will need to grease the sway links bushings too.

    Picked up this underseat storage box from CL this past weekend. Stuck it in there last night.

    Not sure if I like it. I tend to put my stuff in small duffels/tool bags and throw them under the seat so it seems that I actually lost a lot of space with the box in there. We'll see how it goes but I have a feeling it'll end up on CL again.

    Built a shelf for my console so that I could put stuff in the bottom that I rarely use but want to carry in my truck and have the stuff I use more often up top. Shelf is made from a cutting board. It was a bit hard to find one big enough, but walmart ended up carrying one. Used some spray on contact cement to attach the felt. Put in a string to lift shelf.
