gas mileage build!!

i am buying a 01 4x4 cummins. extended cab short bed, and want to level it and run 33x12.5x20s and i want to build it to get better gas mileage, assuming that it will only get around 15 with tires and level kit. so any help would be fantastic!!

What's your budget? If money is not a problem, heres what I'd do:

1) edge ez/juice ect (depends on what power gains you want)
2) new intake
3) RV275 injectors
4) bigger exhaust
5) tonneau cover

edge ez or comp, a mild injector set up 110's or 130's, CIA(cold air intake), Airdog 100gph, 4" exhaust, also keepin ur boost around 5psi while driving and low egt's will help alot plus, u will have a great tow setup when u need it and considerable power

ya it already has a edge and cold air, and i know the edge has a display unit, but dont know what model it is. but exhaust was already in the plan so i guess i should expect to be pretty well off with just what i have. how much am i looking at for some upgraded injectors?

do you have a side pic of your truck with the 33s and leveling kit? i'm gonna run 20s is the plan but it shouldn't be much different if any. i want to check the clearance so a pic would be nice!

CAI(bhaf or another)
intake horn
tunnel ram intake plate
ddp 50 horse injectors
5inch exhaust
exhaust manifold
3.73 gears
valve adjustment
lift pump
edge ez/juice/comp

all those together would make the air flow very smothly and same with the exhaust and it would have decent power

Hey,

My "gas" milage is great, really excellent!!!!

Now I get about 17-18 mpg with my current setup and that's in the winter!

I've just got 33" tires right now and 3.55 gears!

Later,
Winslow
