Are you running the 4.0 programming or switched to 4.6? Real curious on mileage

4.0 comp. Seems it's doing fine with it. Self learning comp? Down to a 1/4 tank so I'll post mpg's once I'm empty.

Before intake and exhaust I was getting 14.6 mpg's. Mix of city / Highway & running premium gas (I'm use to it).
No clue what the mpg was before the rebuild....

16.8 MPG's thus far after 3 tanks of mid grade. ZERO over heating issues and she's running at 180-185* with a 195* t-stat. Very pleased.

ZERO codes, none pending. I am so glad that she hasn't acted up or anything after all this maintenance/modifications performed. I was expecting some tuning or fault codes but nothing thus far (knock on wood) other than the first start up tick I had and the lower leaky oil cooler line not tight enough. No leaks whatsoever from engine or cooling system. She's running superbly
