    going from 22.5 to 24.5

    That is correct, you don't go from smaller to bigger to get better fuel mileage. The coach co. Probably did it for ground clearance issues. More rolling resistance on a bigger tire. Stay with the 22.5 and get a low rolling resistance. The tire spoke of is the xza 3 plus. It's # is 90 I think.

    Fuel mileage on cat c-15

    07 would be the last year I would do. No dpf, right. If so it could be ok. And I would say a 9mpg truck to start. I would much rather have a Detroit though. And a 12.7 Detroit at that. The 10 auto and 3.23's should be fine for this set up also. I would be looking at 03, 04, and 05's with this...

    Air Tabs and mud flaps. Do they work or a waste of coin?

    If you search Google or go to letstruck.com you will find discussions and studies on the echo mudflaps. From what I have read, there is no proven gain in mpg from the echo flaps. Air tabs, a good investment.
