Re: Milage

Personally, I'd remove the OEM manual clutch fan and
replace it with an electric temp controlled fan.  Mine locked
up on my 360 2500, 4x4 and upon removal, I observed an
increase of 10% in fuel economy.  It's still cool enough to
run with no fan here and may be where you are as well so
give it a try and see.  Just remove your fan and run a few
tanks through it and see.  If it makes no difference then
reinstall it and look elsewhere.  Personally....I'd be willing
to bet you will see 16.5-17 mpg afterwards...which adds up.
