I shoved about $130 down the filler neck...

though this time I figured out my ACTUAL fuel economy..

used my GPS odometer for mileage this time since my speedometer is off due to oversized tires...

so I calculated with both mileage numbers and results are: 14.2mpg via truck odometer, 15.3mpg via GPS odometer.

not too shabby

Washed it, gave it a oil change. I have switched over to Liqui Moly 5w40 for oil just to see what it's like. Put a hun in for gas, and bought some body work supplies ouch that stuff has gotten expensive.

i put $50 of gas in the 81 and $20 in the 93 and gave them both a bath.. also hopefully fixed the exhaust leak on my 93 until summer gets here. the muffler is now touching the frame but the tail pipe is no longer being hit by the shock. whoever installed the muffler and tail pipe screwed up. tail pipe need to be turned a bit more and the muffler also need to be rotated. everywhere i didn't weld the first time was leaking.

Took the new to me boat out for its maiden voyage. Truck could barely tell it had anything behind it, 4.10 gears help with that and so do the upgraded brakes. Boat ran good and even caught a couple small grouper.
