I'd get it down to a shop that has the 6.2 Timing tool and have the timing
checked pronto. Most if not all ex-military 6.2's come out with the timing
way off. Poor fuel economy is a major alarm for the timing being anywhere
but where it belongs. Fuel economy 13 MPG first thing I'd check is the
timing, remember the "KISS" principle I'll bet your power is nothing to
write home about either.
