    I'm on the low end for mileage on my truck (11-16 mpg city to hwy) and dropping more with the use of ULSD. I'm looking at my rear end as the primary reason. What do you think?

    Mine varies drastically, I've gotten 13.8 worst in town, and I've gotten 23 on the highway before. I seem to do slightly better in the summer on summer grade fuel, but otherwise I normally get "14-18" average I guess.

    I get 21 MPG fairly consistantly with 4.10's but I have 35" tall tires which helps.
