1997 Ram 1500 Club Cab 5.9 Magnum V8 4X4 poor mileage. maybe 10-12mpg. is there something i can do to improve the mileage? tune up or power chip?

dodges run like that. if your worried put a 180 degree thermostat in. maybe even a 160 . wont hurt engine or fuel mileage . my 99 dodge ram 1500 sport runs fine with 160 degree one. hope it helped , good luck

There are two, one under the hood and one in the a-frame on the left front.

Sounds like bad fuel pump.

Thanks for the vote, and good luck!

your hubs are NOT adjustable

well.. you could tighten your torsion bars and that will lift the front of your truck up, but i wouldnt recomend it because

1. it is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. the torsion bar could snap while adjusting it and fling through the cab.

2. Your vehicle will ride extremely rough.

is the vacumn pipe connected and is it ok and not perished

It a paper gasket with screened silicone seal

I do know these are good for sucking in the gasket for the pan on the bottom of the intake and causing spark knock and oil consumption but not a throttle body gasket.

iv had mine for 5 years bin a good truck. it has 2010000 km still runs strong.
