Hi all,
This may be a dumb or rhetorical question considering what my truck is..... but is there anything I can do to get my '04 FX4 level2 in to the low-mid 20mpg range??
I LOVE my truck.... but its eating me alive on fuel costs.
I've already got a K&N filter (like that's a huge difference lol) and the rest of the truck is stock. I do plan to put a catback exhaust system on it as well in the future. But is there any other proven methods that will help me? I drive 100+ miles per day most days just in an average week I will put 5-700 miles on my truck. Maybe more!
A friend had told me to do a manual hub conversion, but I don't really know all of what that will entail... and I don't wanna get rid of my Alcoa's.
Hopefully you all can help me.... I don't want to trade it in for an econobox.... I use this thing too much!
Thanks for looking!
Jesse
