Took the air filter out... Hoping to track down my crappy fuel mileage problem.

Yeah, letting more debris into the system should help you track down (more) problems. :uhoh: [emoji38]
Short term pavement use is ok, lol. Truck is definitely more responsive, so I'm thinking the Donaldson Powercore is pretty damned restrictive, lol

Put the air filter back on... Still on par for 400 - 500km to a tank of fuel

36 gallon tank?? that's horrible! what's your thinking as to the issue?
I've eliminated almost every variable that I can handle... Nothing in the driveline is dragging enough to do it... Tried multiple fuel stations... Air filter test... So now I've gotta try digging into the computer side of things. Unless I have a pooched turbo.

Charge air leaks is one of the top contributors to poor mileage. I promise
