i have a 2004 chevy blazer, 2 not 4door, 4.3 Vortek V6, 2wheel drive, 40,000 miles on it. I'm getting bout 15highway,mpg, i should &filter every 3000miles or sooner, i clean&re-oil my K&N air filter every 6000miles, change my fuel filter every 12,000miles, i have no trans filter to replace. So what can i do to regain my lost economy? should i replace the gear oils in the standard trans, or the rear end, do i have to use syn. oils only, whats the darn problem? I'm even considering buying a dual electric fan kit to replace my belt driven fan, just to free up a few hp, but those kits are $200.00 or more, would anything like that even make any diff.? i came up with the idea cause i know the silverado with the same engine has bigger air intake hose, bigger exhaust and two electric fans not belt driven. Some one please, please tell me the best thing to do.

Have you had the battery out? If so the computer needs a reset.Usually after the battery has been out the first start after is done with full or lots of throttle,this sets the comp to a high fuel setting.To fix,start eng and warm up to normal temp,turn off eng,disconnect battery,leave for a few mins,reconnect battery,start eng WITH NO THROTTLE,this will put you on a low fuel setting.you will have to reset clock and radio etc.
