if you are going off the gas guage thts going to be hard. they arent as acturate as you think. what was you getting before?

best way to measure gas if getting the recipt of how many gallons you put in and divide by actual miles

i did just that, topped my tank off all the way. then set the trip. after it was a bout half way down i figured it was enough gallons gone to measure a good bit. so i topped it back off by putting 11.5 gallons back in it, then divided by the 117.5 miles i put on the half tank (well what read half tank). thats 10.2 mpg. now 285's are not a huge tire and mine are not overly wide, the 4.10's should have no problem turning them over. i am not trying to compare my truck to a 5.3 or half ton. i know my truck has heavier everything and more displacement. just doesnt match up to most other hd's. i guess well have to play with it quik? higher octane-better mileage?!?!?

actually the 4.10s wit a 32.8 should bring your closer to a 30.5 (stock) wit 3.80s (3.73s) i would imagine. thats really bad dude, how fast were you going?
