" 3.9 hiway 22/23 sometimes even better!"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
My best ever mileage was 15.7 when the truck was new, it's
about 14.1 at best, mid 13s on average. 22/23 I think you
you are measuring your performance based on down grade
driving with the engine in neutral.

Maybe we should laugh at your numbers. My truck was my brother's, when new he got 22 mpg highway. At 127K miles, not having tuned it yet, I get 19-20 mpg highway. That's a 4WD with 3.9L V-6, 4-speed auto (which sometimes doesn't go into overdrive) and and an extended cab and cap. I expect to get it to 21 mpg when all tuned and adjusted properly.

I have a CC 4x2 auto, 3.55 LSD, hard lid, 30x9.50/15 tires inflated to the maximum 50lbs, and use 10w-30 synthetic, also synthetic in the LSD. I don't have a trip computer and my odometer isn't calibrated for the 30" tires, so I calculate mpg by actual road miles and gallons used (the most accurate method). In summer I get a repeatable 22-23 mpg @ 65-70 mph on 600+ mile trips.
Only things I have done over stock is Bosch platinum plugs, 180 t-stat, the airhat hold-down mod, double roller timing chain, and I removed the "elephant trunk" from the airbox and enlarged the hole to 4" diameter.

I have a '94 3.9 V6 4x2 longbed, 64,500 miles, 22-gallon tank. I get around 12-13 in town, not sure what the highway mileage is since I've mainly drove it in town since buying it last August. I would think it would get better gas mileage, but part of it is due to my lead foot, I guess.
