Sudden drop in gas mileage on the truck?
« on: February 23, 2006 - 04:47:34 PM »
Not sure but it might be b/c I just got my cat back Flowmaster dual exhaust installed and I couldn`t keep my foot out of the gas pedal all the way home!  :woohoo:  :bigsmile:
I went with the three chamber mufflers so it`s quieter at cruising speeds but still has a nice grumble when you step on it.

I'd be thrilled to get 13!!!!  Try under 10 with my truck..... V10 power.  the only thing it can't seem to pass on the road is a gas station!
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.
