Thanks for the info
We decided to pass on the trailer
The blue didn't quite match the truck
Plus I was worried about my gas miliage
nOt really
I've had so many of these trucks
They all get About
10mpg
Sometimes 9 if you are towing
And sometimes 14.5 if you are going down hill
A Long Time
A couple days ago we might have got around 16
But it was all down hill
I think I posted on elevation yesterday
The carb loaded up before the first big climb
Ever since then (perfection)
somewhere in the mountains
The gas guage stopped working
That was a bit stressfull
Not knowing how much we had
Now we've been working on a formula
How many miles to a tank of gas
In other trucks I have had its easy (200)
This hasn't been as easy because
The odometer is off it rolls around 1-2tenths per mile
And
Hills vs flat. Vs lack of gas stations in remote areas
But it has been fine so far
Brake light actually came on over a week ago when
We slammed the brakes
To get a good picture of that red quanset hut
We monitor them and seem fine
