hey everyone, i have 2007 ram 2500 megacab 5.7L. My MPG drastically fell. I was averaging 11-13 MPG without a trailer or plow. Now I am around 9.3 MPG without a trailer or plow. Truck is running pretty normal except seemed to lose some power pulling trailer up hill while empty. I just had manifolds done. I dont want to buy a tuner to get better fuel mileage. Where do I start

Start with spark. Remove and inspect the plugs. Insure the gap is correct. Inspect plugs for damage, oil, excessive deposits or evidence of a lean condition.

Change the fuel filter.

Look for vacuum leaks near the base of the intake manifold.
