OK Lance,
Now you have fuel injection and an overdrive automatic with a lockup torque converter. So with those 4.11 gears down to 2.90 in OD locked up in 4th gear how are you MPG's compared to Nick's diesel?
I'm sure his are better but you should be well into the mid to high teens on MPG.
I heard a nasty rumor that you have to reserve campsites at Toroweep now.
We did not make it over due to mud and fuel concerns, but our last trip on the Arizona Strip was terrific!
