If your only objective is to gain mpg, then don't waste your time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the truck you are considering but you will not make any mpg gains. I will totally disagree with ChevyTruckGuy on the "They get around 20 mpg" comment. I have had owned several trucks of this era and the best I see is 17 mpg average on a 2wd CC. You are not going to see better than that from a 4wd CC.
