    Running board lightsStock yellowish light to brite white

    Let us know how they look...but one word of warning...I have seen on the other boards some people complain that the brighter (and higher wattage?) bulbs burn/discolor the plastic lens. Hope that does not happen to you!

    oil change

    One other way to look at it is.......it won't hurt to change it more often...other than time and money. I do agree with jt, between 3k and 5k is fine.

    fuel mileage

    I usually get anywhere from 11.5 to 14.5 (5.4 Triton). I don't really concern myself about mileage...you shouldn't when you buy a large heavy truck (you knew it would be bad when you bought it)..... but, after 70,000 miles I have noticed a least one thing, it gets better maileage in warm...
