Re: My new project

6.2 or 4.3, 700R4, small tires at high pressure, no lift, trim so weight, 4.10 or 3.73 gears if around town and keep your foot out of it, you should see 18+ mpg. I got over 20 on a long haul with my old 6.2. 235 75R15's on it....

I'd be checking the scale with the step side going over it... My short box 77 was over 4k on the truck scale at the quarry IIRC.
