i am new to this truck game and here to learn as much info as i can about my chevy that i just purchased. its a 1998 c1500 extended cab with regular box has the 5.0 v8 vortex in it. curious about what i can do to up the fuel economy a little (i know its not going to get great, otherwise i wouldntve gotten a truck if i was looking for that lol). also i have a few very minor issues with it and curious as to going about fixing them. anyways, hopefully i can get some good info out of this website and eventually help people in the future with there's.

quality plugs, preferably ac delco, brass contact cap and rotor. quality, low resistance wires. clean air filter or k&n filter.
i put a few hundred into a 98 tahoe couple years ago to fix head gaskets. before, i was lucky to get 15 mpg. while i was in there, i upgraded the fuel injection spider unit to the MPFI (google it) also used the parts i mentioned above. at 70 mph it was hittin 19-21. consistently.
