Hello, everyone - new guy here -
I joined a while back but this is my first post.
I have an '02 1500 shortbed 2WD - I LOVE IT!
I am a LONG time GM guy, and I never thought I'd like a modern Chrysler product, but this truck popped up at a time when we REALLY needed it and we couldn't resist.

I have tried a couple things to revive the black plastic that is EVERYWHERE on these trucks - Turtle Wax Trim Restorer - absolute CRAP - and Mother's Back to Black - somewhat better - but not the cure I seek.
What do y'all recommend to revive this stuff? It's not TERRIBLE, but I would liike it to be black, at least.
And - one more question, if I may ... I am sure I will be told to do a search, but I don't want to wade through a thousand pages ...
What is a really good mileage chip for my 4.7? I LOVE the power, but the mileage is pretty damn terrible. I don't mind sacrificing some HP for better gas mileage.
Thanks a lot!
