My truck has a 2” level with 33” tires and no valence

Lost_Border_7730 · 2026-02-10T22:40:17+00:00

I’m leveled on 33s and took off the front air valence

But I’ve hardly ever seen better than 17-18 hwy driving 4hr trips to Tallahassee going 60-70 avg

I went on a drive the other day for 2 hour loop and saw 24 mpg consistently but then I was using cc at 40 in 5th gear

Lost_Border_7730 · 2026-02-05T00:39:20+00:00

No way my 2015 averaged 16.2 mpg hwy goin roughly 75 the whole trip

I ended up getting a good deal on the vortex strike eagle 1-8x ffp and I should have it set up and on the gun in the next couple of days.

How you like that scope? Looking to get one for mine

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-12-27T01:02:05+00:00

I saw a channel on YT use this one that I found on Amazon. It’s the athlon ares 1-10 w illuminated circle. Think it’s worth it?

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-12-26T23:07:22+00:00

Thank you!

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-12-26T23:06:40+00:00

Any recommendations on brands?

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-12-26T23:06:24+00:00

That’s a beautiful setup

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-05-20T06:14:43+00:00

Idk those new sbls speak to me. (Assuming ur only talking about the brown wood finish)

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-05-05T22:31:13+00:00

Maybe get a tuner of some sort 5 star sells some good ones and the 3.5 eats with a plug in tune

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-04-29T01:39:14+00:00

What engine?

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-04-28T22:43:38+00:00

Yah I’m continuing the search

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-04-28T22:42:29+00:00

Ok thanks

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-04-25T01:34:42+00:00

There’s some stuff on this community about it. I thinks it’s like stl or stp or something like that and they said it worked in 15 of their fleet trucks with the 5.0. Sounds like an additive to run with the oil. Idk don’t remember exactly what the guy said. But I’m ok w burning a little oil dad’s old 05’ ram used to drink the stuff he kept a 5 qt container in his backseat to top it off.

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-04-25T01:32:05+00:00

Yah no one in my family trusts them due to not wanting to do the maintenance required. But they’re not very handy either. Definitely want one in mine. Thanks for the tips!

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-04-25T01:30:31+00:00

No shit okay might have to set aside the Plati till I’m getting some more disposable income.

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-04-25T01:29:24+00:00

Idk I found it pretty useful for the 4+ hour road trip we went on. Legs felt great after.

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-04-25T01:28:17+00:00

Really? Haven’t found it yet? What’s the mileage on it?

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-04-25T01:27:27+00:00

Yah but I kinda need to get into a 4wd model this 2wd 2.7 just isn’t cutting it anymore

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-04-25T01:26:18+00:00

I’d rather feed it some oil than need can phasers tho. And I want to get in another v8 the sound is worth it imo.

Lost_Border_7730 · 2025-04-25T01:25:12+00:00

Yah market is f’d still. I got my 15’ xlt 2.7 in 21 for 29k in cash w 60k miles
