Wasn't trying to argue and not saying anyone is wrong about their mileage, in sure that's what you're getting. I'm certainly not making up my numbers and I'm sure many of us posted aren't either. All I'm saying, there's got to be a reason, the temp theory was just that, a theory and to be honest, it's part of the story believe it or not, especially to keep emissions happy. Emissions tests your vehicle are operating temp for a reason. I don't have an answer why one motor is different from the next, I'm sure in the hell ain't getting an avg of 10 mpg even with 37s driving with a heavy foot.
I'm glad you guys still love your truck. I'm not trying to argue more so trying to give a solution to maybe try something different.
