Haven't posted in a while, I just landed a job that's around 45 minutes each way ALL highway. I normally drive local/45mph tops averaging 18mpg with my 3.21 V6 4x2 1500.
Question, any advice to increase MPG's on the highway? Do those bed covers help at all? Also is it a myth to leave the rear tailgate open for more air flow? This IS my first big pickup truck, sorry for the newb questions.
Another thing, the dealer is calling me for my 1st service/oil change and I only have 2200 miles since I got it in September 30th 2017? I was going to wait till 5000 miles, is that bad for this engine?
I know you should do an oil change either 6 months or 5000 miles, but if I never tow, and pretty much never floor the gas, could it go say 5000 miles over say 8-10 months? I'd love to change the oil myself, but to be honest the way my back is, anything can set it off and then I'm walking around like a hunchback.
