if it wasn't mentioned...then for lack of mpg's, try cleaning the maf., also on the 5.0 with higher milage the IAT sensor in the lower intake get's all caked with carbon, I replace them when that happens, but you could check it and try cleaning it too.

forgot to mention my car has some PO installed bull****e cam, I was curious about the possibility of a cam but my suspicions were confirmed when I went to replace the timing chain and found it a full tooth off.

I read you loud and clear Bubba. I will be pulling codes tomorrow and hopefully have something worth reporting.

How is my statement "big head talk"?
I have 45 more cubic inches than he has, I have a SIGNIFICANTLY larger cam, AND a heavier car.
Not to mention my compression being 11.25:1 versus his 9:1.
His car is not suffering in the MPG, because of his gears.
