I solved it. I unloaded my FPP tune, went back to stock. Drove it around for better part of an hour, came home, reloaded FPP tune. Drove it for another hour - mostly using ACC cruise. MPG is now back to 17.4mpg at avg 70mph. To recap Drove to California - 800 miles - empty truck 17.6...

I think so. Last year I got caught by that. But that 1. flips over in Sept and it's Dec now. And 2. This change - the muffler upgrade - happened mid tank.

I think if you read through my post and responses you'll see I literally laid out the controls and the conditions. I can draw a direct line between changing the exhaust, and the drastic reduction in milage. There is no other factor. You are the first, in that sentence, to provide some...

And for record, I don't like the louder exhaust. I'm definitely not stomping on it to hear it. I come from poor people. When you're poor, all your mufflers are loud because you can't afford to to anything with them but let them rust out. I don't like the louder tone, and I'm not going for...

Noted. Yeah, I'm as surprised as anyone. I'm not really stomping on it. The factory muffler started leaking so I replaced it with one that was better performing. I mean, maybe it does spool up a bit faster, if so I can't tell. I punch in the ACC as soon as I'm able and ride it out. I think...

What do you want, the bloody fuel logs? The FPP tune, the lift, the 33in tires have already on there for upwards of a year. Was getting 17.6 mpg pretty steadily. I put the camper on. Drove 1000 miles with ACC cruise on the the lions share. Mpg dropped to 16.6. Okay. No surprises I put...

What did you do for 2in lift in the back? Shackles + blocks?

My Vagabond Drifter camper finally arrived. Also installed 1in BDS leaf shackles to bring the butt up a bit. I have not yet done a build-out of the back, still a little unclear what we're going to do. These are initial shots.

Solved: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/big-mpg-hit-after-mbrp-exhaust-install-looking-at-new-tune.17016/post-347426 --- I just installed a MBRP exhaust and my MPG dropped from 16.6 to 14.6 - which I have a problem with. I have the FPP tune and have had it for 12+ months or so and I...

That looks fantastic.

I regret buying my tailgate dampener.

Pretty balleur, both.

Rapid red, representing.

Nice build. I do not hate that front bumper. What is it?

I'm sorry, if you said earlier I couldn't find it; what trail armor package is that? Is that Shrockworks as well?

Are you saying the pictured orientation of the fuse taps is incorrect and should be flipped around?

Negative. I just bolted it under/above the spare tire. Not the best place to be honest but it does the duty and doesn't get too fouled.

Upgraded to the APG Midrunner suspension. Boy what a difference.

Closing the loop on this, adjusting that ring for height adjustment proved unnecessary. The shocks already come ready to go. All the lift I was looking for came preconfigured. But yes, the only way to get more height is to preload that spring even harder.

Did you adjust the preload ring to adjust ride height? Or did you just install them as-is, fresh from the box? How much lift did you get from them?
