I think an intake/airbox mod kills mileage because it's giving the engine more air for the same exhaust. ( this is if you have a stock exhaust ) More air means it's getting more fuel also probably.
I just put an e-fan on today, i'll see how it works for mpg in the next day or so and post.
I have a JET chip too, no change.
Larger heavier tires totally bring the mpg down the drain.

if i wanted gas mileage i would get these in this order..
KEEP OUT OF THE THROTTLE!! NOT PAST 2500k-3000k on shifts
leave stock tires
bamachips tuner/chip running 93
magnaflow exhaust
e-fan
air intake..
the best mpg i ever got was with...
32 inch tires, bamachip(93 octane), and stock air intake. i got 20.2 mpg with city driving once and averaged 19.3 mpg over several tanks.

Well guessing from you truck page you already have a tonneau, efan, and intake. the only other additions would be the programmer and exhaust.
What is your mileage now? Tire size?

What PN Magnaflow are you guys running? I was thinking of getting the 9424512 SI (2.25) DO (2.00) and exiting in front of the rear tire.

The best I got on my 3.0 was about 22, average was 18 and that was after intake, exhaust, tuner, 33's, maf mod.
