I dunno, I think it's all how it's took care of and how it's drove. Aren't there a few others in the 2nd Gen crowd that say they get 20mpg or close to it?

 

Ive seen guys claiming 20mpg but have nothing to prove or back that up.. I really think that on a well maintained motor and real careful driving you might be able to pull off 16 or 17 mpg at best.. The best ive managed was 14.3.. I guess we just need to know the 'mods' he has done..

 

If I drove pure freeway, unloaded, with just me, (and the dog, can't go anywhere without her...) I might be able to eek out 19..... with my truck, that's pretty damn good. (as these things go...) In a lighter, half-ton truck, I could almost see it, if it's two wheel drive, should be doable without too much effort.

I am REALLY curious what mileage mods he has. Anything that would decrease my trucks appetite for fuel would put a smile on my face. (aside from: Not driving it.)

 

Maybe a TB spacer???

 

God 'l getcha for that one dlyter...... I just SPEWED milk all over my monitor.

 

I mean i guess we just gotta make these kinda guesses cause he doesnt want to enlighten us... Im so anxious to hear these mods

 

He isn't currently showing as online... so, maybe tomorrow.....

 

Maybe one of these??

I didn't update Fuelly on the trip to Va from Ga since we only stopped once to fill up the truck and it still had 5/8 of a tank (stopped when I put gas in the U Haul), but I'd say we hit either the high 16's or low 17's mpgs...

I'd bet I'd get even more if I went back to stock 16" wheels and stock sized tires....

My 3 best mpg's, 15.1, 15.2, and 15.5. And two of those came on back to back fillups driving 140+ miles a day for work....NO interstate Not bad... Plus a miss-aligned front end... Might pickup a little when I get that fixed....

 

Yeah, there ya go, almost as effective as a TB spacer.
