New Owner of a 2002 Cherverolet 1500 5.3 Ext Cab! What mods for better gas Milage?
I just picked it up with 48,750 miles on the clock! It is bone stock! I am so impressed with the get up & go it has!
We went out shopiing for a truck last friday & where talked in to a Dodge Quad Cab 4.7! Well they let us take it over the weekend & after driving it for the Weekend I said Hell no! It was getting 14.5 miles per Gallon on the highway & 13.6 in the city!
So I went to another dealership & bought this truck! The gas is alot better in this truck & the truck has good get up & go!
What are some of the first mods I should do to gain my HP & Better Fuel?

I didn't show any better mileage with my new Volant kit. The truck pulled a little better from around 2300 rpm up, but i think the stock intake tube (as restrictive as it looks) will retain the best gas mileage. A drop-in highflow filter will probably help a small bit.

Dude most mods you can do to add good power are not going to help gas mileage.... If your looking for gas mileage stay stock..... maybe a drop in filter.....
If your looking for power....Cam, Headers......etc the basics...
