 I have a 97 ram 1500 5.9l 4x4. I am trying to improve my gas mileage. I have heard several different opinions from people but never from people who have actually tried of the products. I looked at brands like K&N, Air Aid, etc. If anyone could help me by telling me of products they have had success with I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Hey Countreeboy - I've had good luck with nearly every cool air dam / gauze-type air filter that we've ever used. We've done some tests on a few, which you may want to take a look at:

http://www.4x4review.com/Features/FeatureArticles/ZerotoSixtytoZeroAgain/tabid/280/Default.aspx - AFE cool air dam / free flowing air filter
http://www.4x4review.com/Reviews/ProductReviews/Drivetrain/AiraidCoolAirDamIntakeandThrottleBodyspac/tabid/299/Default.aspx - AiRaid free flowing air filter

While we didn't do specific mileage tests (they were more focused on power), we did see an improvement in fuel mileage.

Hope that helps

Rick
