believe it or not guys, with the 5 speed the big tires dont hurt the mileage specially on the highway...dont forget with stock tires doing 75 mph we're turning darn close to 2500rpm
i didnt see and mileage increase at all going from 315's to 265's if anything i lost a little bit

Around 14.2 but whenever my stepdad had the same truck(this actual one) he said he was getting around 16-17 which is about 400 miles to the tank and im getting like 330 to the tank

dont forget you only have a 26 gallon tank...and when it gets to e you still have like 5 gallons left.
but 14 is still pretty low....this is unloaded mpg right? when i wa son tires that big i was seeing 19-20highway believe it or not and 17-18ish around town...
i would do the things i said in the first post i made that should help...and its all pretty cheap and will make your truck run better...
also dont forget to keep an eye on your air filter
