Mm...

Plugs replaced
Fuel filter replaced
Front/Rear diff changed
Trans/filter changed

I had the 02 sensors tested today and apparently they are still good. I requested they be changed otherwise.

What I have done is installed the Tornado, K&R filter and one of those fuel boss'. I'm not sure if they'll make a difference or not. On a very limited test, I drove my truck 38 miles and averaged 15.8 MPG before installing (and Sea Foaming), then drove the same route a second time afterwords and got 15.9 MPG. Not much of an increase.

I've decided the throttle body spacer is a total waste of money as thats what nearly every post has said. I'm still up in the air on the intake though. There seems to be a lot of people who speak highly of them and then a lot who don't. For now, I'm just going to skip it.

Anyways, again, thanks for all the good advice. Someday hopefully I can return the favor to someone else.
