Re: 2003 Chevy 1500HD Crew - Fuel Mileage

Hello FSJ,



Check out a couple of recent threads on the same subject (e.g., cold air intake, exhaust system, NO2, throttle body spacer, etc.). Add to the lists:



-- replace clutch cooling fan with electric fan(s)



-- replace belt driven accessory pulleys with larger diameter ones



-- get cover for pickup tray or remove tailgate



-- "rake" the truck (lower front suspension than rear)



-- remove unnecessary weight (unneeded tools, sand bags/cinder blocks, etc.)



Good luck!
