Hi All,
What effect do the common turbos have on fuel mileage of the '03 V6's?

Granted. But if I drive in my usual style (moderate defensive/asertive) and 90% highway miles, will my mileage increase?
my understanding is that the turbo helps push more fuel/air into the engine, I can not imagine it increasing mileage.
You can't justify a power adder with fuel savings. It just ain't gonna happen! Do it for the fun of it! Or better yet get a V8 car to play with and keep the truck as a dependable daily driver. That's what I did.
