well i know for sure a throttle body spacer helps, even though our rams are different gens, and i've heard that a cold air kit, headers, and a tune also help. i plan on finding out for myself soon

Change your plugs often. I like using coppers instead of the platinum ones and I just change them alot. How many miles do you have on it and have you ever changed the 02 sensor.

I used to have a 2002 4.7. Bought a 2008 Hemi and my gas mileage is about 1-2 better.
