well i need to do a full tank and see, but i drive the same route so much i can tell when im not getting the same.

and to moes, man that is sometimes the problem, haha.

i thought about getting a CAI one day, but until the dealership told me that i decided not to, but if yall arent having any problems then i just might.

i need to seafoam i keep forgetting, i did my T/A a while back and that did wonders.

i was thinking at 50K miles doing the plugs.

25K miles for a fuel filter? i guess that would be a good time, i was wondering what a good average time frame would be, thanks guys.

i had about the same thing happen to me with my last truck...at 17000miles my truck went from 22mpg to 17mpg...figured it might have been the fuel filter, crawled under the truck, no fuel filter. called the dealership and asked if he could tell me where it was and they said nope...i said is there anyone there can. and he said nope cuz there's not one except for on the bottom of the fuel pump...

My 03 still has an external fuel filter. I think they changed that in 04 or 05.
