Trading is not an option. I use this truck everyday and for what it is, it gets great gas milage. If there is room for improvement and an chance to learn something, then why not. I can do all the work myself. I am just looking for the best place to start.
Thanks guys for all your input!

Thanks for the info, that is very helpfull. Yes it is a cummins and it has a 6speed. At 60mph i am running about 1750rpm. The real problem i am having is when i get on the highway and drive 70 or 75mph, i am up around 2000 2100rpm. That is were my as milage starts to drop. If it is...
The reason i ask, is i read an article about a truck that was getting 30+ MPG, 40 if he stayed out of it. Right now for a truck i think i am getting great milage, 20+, but i would like to get better if possible.
If i went from a 3.70 gear ratio and went to a higher gear for gas milage, what kind of power would i need to make to make up for the gearing loss?
Truck:
Stock 2004 2500 quad cab dodge 4x4 w/35in tires. It has 3.70 rear end in it.
Any suggestion on where i can find info or what i need to...
