Hey you'r truck Looks great! I like the color.. About your gas milage...It never hurts to want more MPG right?, Well i have been told that the best cheep mod that you should do first is to get AN E-FAN. It should get close to 2 mpg more out of your truck.

its most likely a 2wd, like redneck said, plus its a 3.0, most newer 4x4s are 4.0L.

the biggest give-away that it's not RCD, or at least the RCD 5" conversion lift, are the lack of the compression struts. Aka, the bars located close to where the torsion bars would be that the SL guys like to whine about.

yea about all the photoshop what not...
i took the pictures w/ my macbook, and it flipped everything around, lol
i didnt realized it

and yes its a 05 3.0L 2wd, and well the lift i believe is an rcd

i'll get more pics up soon, after i get hold of a camera.

And about that efan, me, being car illiterate, could i just buy that at local shop and have them install it?

Also tuners i heard are really good upgrade, can i also get that at a shop? are the tuners all the same?
thx cj.

well being that when I was looking for my truck they had t he xlt 3.0 with 3.73 gears and the edge 3.0 with 4.10. So first off i'd regear to atleast 4.10 possibly higher. Get exhaust and a programmer and lay off the skinny pedal and you should get good gas mileage.
