Fuel mielage

***95Cummins12Valve*** · 08-23-2007, 06:32 PM

Hey guys,
I'm tryin' to get some input for what mods I should do to my truck to get better fuel mileage. I have a list of everything done to it but it's in storage right now and i can't remember it all but as soon as I get it out I'll post my list of what is currently done to it. Let me know what 12 valve mods y'all have done or know about.

I'm getting 16-17mpg right now and I have 4.10 gears.

Have you tried to advance your timing to 16* degrees. I've heard that that will get you some mor mpg. Right now I get between 18-21.

I know you probably don't want to hear this but.....Air up your tires, take off slow,coast to stop, do speed limit, buy quality fuel, and keep up with maintenance on your truck. These things will net you better mileage, and the only cost will be for maintenance items.

Timing will help, a boost elbow to help complete the burn, better air filter, things like that motor wise, try and stay away from fuel mods however they may help also. Increasing efficiency along with things stated above. Someone else will chime in with some more specifics im sure
