LOL sorry posted in the wrong post. Seems like the 6.2 gets better MPG than the 6.0. MY truck just has the diablo predator tuner.... I think I need to get a real tune!

2010 ECSB 4X4 6.2 3.42, stock sized tires: 18 to 19 mpg all day long at 75 mph.

After ripping the plastic air dam and a fog light off on a moderate to easy 4X4trail on Colorado I raised the truck up a moderate 4 inches.
MPG results: 15 - 16 mpg at 75 mph. However, so far I have kept the air dam intact.

As expected city driving was the same before and after the lift at 14 mpg.

Conclusion: The air dams really work well at keeping the air from underneath the truck and decreasing the drag.

Taking my 6.2l on the highway for a 2 hour drive up north. Bb tune and headers, hoping I get 20mpg at 75mph. I'll report back later. Ohh and I'm running 92 octane.

Did the tune turn out to be all that you were hoping for? I don't remember seeing an update.
