I believe our trucks always try to maintain perfect stoich which is 14.7. My scangauge confirms this. When you give it throttle it goes higher for a short period of time meaning it's running leaner (say in the 15-16:1 area, depending on how much throttle was given) because of the open throttle body butterfly allowing more air in but the ECU compensates by adding more fuel to the fire. Your numbers suggest you're running a little rich which would hurt fuel economy. If your truck is running like this in closed loop (warmed up) then you may have a problem.
Correct, those are the closed loop numbers. I'll get a better idea of my MPG once I calculate this tank. The gas gauge reallly isn't too much of a help because the thing drops like a rock. Appreciate the responses.
Rock rat, you're almost perfectly mixed there even with over 300k on the odo. Impressive

Thanks for the tid bit J. Looks like I might be ok. I am not sure what the problem would be if there is one anyway. Recently replaced my air fuel ratio sensor, plugs, wires and fuel filter so I figure I am at least close to optimal numbers unless I have something else throwing the numbers off
Rock rat reports almost perfect stoich numbers which makes me wonder

Take a look at my LAST video of the TRD Cat Back exhaust. I capture the Scan Gauge off-and-on but for the most part I hardly move away from 14.56 while cruising.
Rockrat that scenery is something else. Your numbers tell me I have something off causing my ecm to send too much fuel. I reckon your fuel economy is pretty good running that close to perfect? Even with your tires and gears.
I might need to start investigating this. I did pop my coil packs off and 2 of the 3 had corrosion on the terminal that the spark plug wire connects to.
Thank you for the time and responses guys
On a side note I wonder if there is some variance as I am using an app called torque as opposed to the scan gauge it looks like you're using
