Can you list your mpg (city highway, or averaged, along with the year, engine, 4wd or 2wd, ex-cab or no ex cab, tire size, rear end ratio, any pertinent mods, and how many miles you have on the engine....
Thanks! Just trying to get a consensus here...

jet chip, tb-spacer, Flomaster duals, K&N filter,
32x11.50 tires.
have approx 7400 miles on it.
Not sure about the mileage, really havent gotten out on a long trip yet and drive in lots of stop and go traffic in town. 70 mph one minute and 5 mph the next so mileageis hard to gage. Right now though, I check it at every fill up and constantly get 14 to 14.5 mpg. Probably would be better but its hard to stay off the go pedal with the mods.

The 5.9 is pretty bad but the good thing is if you are towing a 2000lb trailer the mpg stay the same. My friend has a 4.7 and he always gets better milage but one time we were pulling equally heavy trailers and when his fuel light came on i still had bit more then a quarter.
So for towing 5.9.
