Having my valves done next week.....hope it improves mileage.......I don't Know if they ever been looked at on this truck I got it with 142,000 miles on it and I got 168,000 miles on it now.......the next thing I am going to do is delete exhaust......The mechanic just fixed some codes on it and it sure did help a little......I hope we get more cause it was only getting about 11 and that sucks.......He told me everything else looks good on my truck......Hoping for the best on my truck.....

@Polaraco noted a huge difference with a valve adjustment on his 08 before he traded it in for an 03.

It is my understanding that pre 13 trucks see the most improvement with deletes.Originally Posted by Jolly

I picked up just over 1 mpg city driving. That's me playing with the skinny pedal a little bit too.

After installing studs I adjusted my valves to the spec that everyone is doing the .010 int and .020 exh and my MPGS got worse.
The intake was pretty close but the exhaust I had to tighten up a bit*
did you push the skinny pedal more? Maybe the subconsious thought of I have head studs now I can push it a little and you were a little heavy on the skinny?
