Did you calibrate the speedometer?

 

[scottahaire]

No but I already factored it in. The reason I do not is to keep about 13% of the miles off the truck. Lol

Basically for every extra inch of extra height you lose about 1 MPG. Keep in mind this is with a 3.92

Really surprised the Retrax is 2 mpg better. I’m planning on getting one when my truck arrives.

I was surprised to buy the retrax made a good difference. FYI The numbers I posted avg 75 mph. At 65 mph it goes up another 1 mph highway
