So my truck was running crappy the EGR was getting blocked the truck was getting horrible milege and i had a huge loss in power.
So i took it in to the dealer yesterday and they cleaned the whole intake manifold's and everything.
BUT they shut my leer topper in the garage door and ripped off one of my thule racks!
The topper has a dent in it now where the rails conected to the topper, They just cept on driving and riped it crean off.
So ill be getting a new topper now courtsey of my local dealer.
But the trucks running like new and getting 24mpg so at least i dident have to pay a dime. We went 98 miles on 4 gallons of fuel.

Was the Thule rack causing that much resistance?

You wont see a gain in power, but in long run power wont be effected as bad since it wont gum up with too much buildup.
