I'm guessing your "more aggressive tires" are the cause. If they are larger in circumference they will throw your speedometer off which messes up your mileage calculations. Also tread patterns and added weight to the tire can have a bigger impact than you think because you are talking about 'rolling weight' which is the worst place to add weight.

ok well the mileage is back up but not all back
i have a 4.8 and the fuel filter is in the tank so i can't change it
my hubs are newish (1 year old) about 23k on them i would guess
my tire are the same size as the originals but more aggressive
thanks

final update
Thnaks for all the replys you guys gave me
The milage is all the way back up yo par when i first got the truck runs great no probs.
it took some time but it did go back up list of things i did
1 air, filter plugs (tune up) ect...
2 Seafoam oil, gas, vacume line,
3 and i think hte biggest factore becasue nothing realy happened until i did this is change gas and gas station after that my gas mileage shot up from that point and has stayed up
again thanks everyone for the replys.
