Also before you dog her too much I have seen at least 3 trucks personally with that engine with 300K plus miles on them and not ticking nor buring a drop of oil. How many domestic V-6's have you seen with that.. sure there are some but not nearly as many as the Yota's!!

I AGREE 100%! If you are getting bad gas milage and no power and still have everything including tires stock, something is VERY wrong. Change the fuel filter, check your O2 sensor, then do the ISR mod and air box mod, then loosen up the exhaust. With a DEAD O2 sensor and running STUPID rich, I'm still getting 17 on the highway. Prior to this I was getting 21-24 on the highway and that WAS total stock. With a new O2 sensor I shoulld be right back to the mid 20s in gas milage. Also I can accellerate uphill in O/D, well most of the hills here in FL....lol 
ps - Oh yeah I'm up to 224860 miles on my 3.0L.
