- 5.7 hemi
Hey all, first post to this forum, and I'm sure I'm asking a question that's been beaten to death already, but couldn't find anything in the thread search. I have a 2012 2500 4x4 double cab with the 5.7 Hemi, stock gearing, stock ride height, and slightly above stock tire size (31s). I'm currently getting around 11 city and 16-18 highway, depending on speed. I'm going to be getting new tires for it this summer and have been looking at going up to 33s because I use my truck on a lot of forest service and non-maintained roads for hunting, camping, and just outdoor stuff in general. I will likely also be doing a leveling kit and new shocks, but that probably won't affect much compared to larger tires I was wondering if any of y'all have any insight on how this may affect my gas mileage and general performance and if there are any tips to help improve both. I've read that sometimes on higher mileage Hemis, replacing the spark plugs with newer high-end plugs can gain a couple of MPGs, so that is something I would look into if that would actually work.
Again, I realize this has probably already been discussed but couldn't find it in the searched threads, so if anyone has a link to threads that have discussed this, I would greatly appreciate it.
