Very clean - Did you do transfer case as well? That is often overlooked

Did the front/rear diff fluid change (Royal Purple 75-90) & TC chain swap with double fill (workbench fill, 1qt) of mineral base ATF (50 mile hwy drive to flush the case). Drained and filled to correct level (.5qt) with Mobil 1 Syn ATF.

Saw an improvement in MPG. Driving a full tank over the past 2 weeks (Coppell, Southlake, Plano area), with temps over 100deg F and the AC running, got to 418 miles traveled before the distance to "E" display read "0".

Gotta love V8 power, ice cold air and non-hwy cruising at almost 18mpg.

Replaced the Michelin Latitudes with a set of Pirelli Scorpions. Boy are these tires quiet.

Ooh Good luck with that. Those Pirelli's are known to get noisy after 10K miles.

+1 on the Pirelli Scorpions being noisy when around 1/3 worn (and they get crazy loud worn down near the wear bars).

Had to remove a set from the ex-wifes Jeep GC at around 15k miles.

Removed my JL Audio Stealthbox and put the stock speakerbox back in.

LMK if someone wants to buy the Stealthbox!

Mind me asking why did you remove the stealth box and amp? did you not like the outcome of sound?
