    I would say to sell the 24s and get some smaller diameter and lighter wheels. Unsprung weight is at your disadvantage. What gears you running?
    I would do efans, pulleys, LT headers, no cats, a decent catback exhaust, CAI and a live custom tune to get the max MPGs out of your truck. I had a 93 octane mail order tune that yielded me like 12 mpgs. But once I got a live tune, I am averaging 2o mpgs city/hwy mixed. I bet I can pull close to 22 on the freeway if I keep my cruising speeds areound 60 mph...
    Actually Tyler UPS has been doing the mainly right turns for a few years now, they say its to cut on gas.....nope they originally started doing it to try and save time on their routes.

    Yeah thats never good. I would kinda say your SOL on the wheels. But I hope you get the results youre looking for.

    I see hardly any way an AWD 6.0 SUV will get 20. If you find out how, please let me know.
