I just bought my truck and am overall fine with the gas mileage I’m getting, but quick question.
I have a 2008 Ram 1500 6-speed 4.7L truck with 81,000 miles on it.
I’ve been getting 13 mpg with 90% of that being freeway driving.
I just changed the oil and oil filter. The old oil was pitch black.
I bought 16 spark plugs. 8 copper and gapped them for the tops and 8 iridium for the bottom. I’m going to take out one set of plugs and if they are nasty I’ll change em, if they look find I’m getting my money back.
Anywho, any ideas on what I can do to bring gas mileage closer to 15-17 the truck is “supposed” to get?
If there’s nothing I can do, oh well. Like I said, love my truck and expected to get less than 15 mpg.
Also, when it comes to cold air intakes, worth it or not? If worth it, K&N (I can get a new one for $288), S&B? Others?
