my 65Suburban gets about 4mpg. I've been told my TH350 is shot. I have a 283, and 3:73 gears(stock) Engine runs good, but I'm pulling 4000RPM's at 70 MPH on the highway. So now it sits in my yard. I'm thinking of pulling the front clip off to clean up and paint the firewall until I can get a new trans. It really sucks that I can't drive the old beast.
