Hi, guys new Ram owner here from Houston,TX. Just picked up a 2002 Dodge Ram Quad Cab SLT 4.7 with 116,000 and I must say I love the truck but I hate the MPG that I'm currently getting 15.2 on HWY.

I will be doing a tune up in the near future, new plugs, air filter, fluid change hopefully I can get some better MPG.

Welcome to RF!

Yeah give it some TLC and change the filter, plugs, clean the TB, maybe run some seafoam through her, and if she's not on synthetic oil, change it. It'll get better.

Don't forget! Dodge's don't like fancy plugs. Get the plain ol copper core plugs for it! Not only saves money, but runs better.

Welcome to RF! We look forward to helping you spend you money on things you didn't even know you didn't need.
