I have a friend with the same truck and all he does is complain about the mileage. It must be the nature of the beast.

My brother in law has two of them. He gets the same mileage with both..bad. I have sold many over the years as well and all of them seem to get around the same mileage. It is a trade off of power for mileage it would seem. The only way I can think of to maybe increase it would be to change the rear end gears to a different ratio maybe? But then you would lose the pulling power. It really comes down to if you want the power or the mileage.
Good luck.
