Actually one plug went. I will have all the plugs taken care of to avoid it again, very soon.
I got this truck cheap, was looking into a diesel, but the prices were outrageous. The V10 has been working for now, and only towig 10K max I shouldn't have a problem. I will have a diesel at some point, but for the time being the gas motor works great! Dads got a diesel anyway if I need it

Last couple of tanks was around 13 with the 255/70/16s. Since tossed on some 285/75s to hopefully bring the RPM down on the highway!

Bigger tires will bring your RPM down but the extra rolling mass will eat more fuel. I have never seen a case where gearing up with bigger tires did anything but burn more fuel. Little bitty tires and tall gears are the only way to increase MPG with gear ratio.
