Get it fixed!
Just got mine fixed on the '01 and gas mileage went up. Really. And with a new fuel pump, acceleration is more steady. Wrong readings from any sensor must really screw up the whole computer.

How do you know your gas mileage went up if you just got it fixed? The only way to get an accurate MPG calc is over a few tanks of gasoline.

Joel, not trying to sound like a smart a** but after living 6 months with NO tank better than 15 mpg under any circumstances....get something fixed and first tank, that I topped off as high as I ever have, and got 17...and that pulling a small boat trailer. Well that tells me something. I'll keep you posted.

gonna clean the EGR and suck some SeaFoam through a vacuum line into the engine tomorrow, and an oil change.

Good deal. Consistant 15mpg is tough to take for a small truck/engine like these.
