Just finished yet another road trip across the country from Seattle area to Minneapolis area and back. Total miles of 3730 round trip. Truck averaged 15-16 mpg.
The rebuilt track bar and new T steering helped SO MUCH. The pump/gear still whines like air is in there but on the highway at speed it steered nice and easy. The suspension can actually articulate now with the new bar joints and it soaked up the road joints beautifully. I haven't had such an enjoyable trip since it was stock. I'm not fatigued or sore from the drive.
The new Jegs y-pipe helped with power a lot too. I could keep speed up hills and run AC no problems. Big improvement!
Truck turned 277,XXX and ran great. Not one issue or hiccup at all. Ran 87 octane the whole way and never heard ping. I think the truck is just getting broke in! Burned about a quart which is just fine as it always has. The tires are starting to cup on the inside a little. Need to double check the alignment and rotate (it steering dead on though).
I would love to still get a new steering gear as the second Redhead is flexing its output shaft. And I still have to complete the exhaust as I'm just running a glass pack. Plus the paint is shot. But I'm in love all over again. What a truck. She fully redeemed herself after last year's cat fiasco (not the truck's fault but still).
Have a nice day, guys.
My PSC box arrives today once I get it installed I'll let you know
