Took the 06 on its first "real" trip to Parkston SD and got 16.6 mpg. I don't think that that is too bad for only 4700 miles on it.

Couple of questions, here in the Hastings NE area we don't see pumps labeled no. 1 or no. 2 diesel very often so I have forgot the difference is and does anybody make a muffler delete pipe for a MBRP dual exhaust setup?

And I added a short video to my sig.

What is the Zoodad mod? Did you get the check engine light problem fixed?
I know MBRP doesn't make a muffler delete pipe for the Duels, the Y pipe being welded to the muffler causes that problem. I'm sure something can be fabricated though.

That's the tow/haul light. The zoodad mod is where you take and cut open the support that is in front of the air cleaner hole. Its supposed to let more air flow into the air cleaner. I added a picture to webshots album. Pretty easy to do 4 screws and 5 clips and the grill is off in 5 minutes. I spent more time with the dremel than I did getting the grill on and off.

Man... You got me beat by a solid 3 points for the same truck and same mileage... I'm genuinely ticked off and jealous! How fast where you running?

I have a super cab 8 foot bed, auto and 3.73's out back. Dual alternators, bone stock, with a Tonno cover. In fact, I think I did a little better without it...
