I know fuel mileage is one of your concerns, good fuel mileage in a 1/2 ton, 5400lbs 4x4 truck, shouldn't be, it wont happen. trust me, you can lose a lot of hair and sleep over this, so if you are content with your purchase and can afford to feed it, just enjoy the beast. just rember this, the 5.7 is a hostile engine, to enjoy the beauty of it, you have to open it lungs, that takes dino, if you have the 5.7, you bought it for a reason, i'll give you one guess. life is short, get living.
