Re: '78 3/4 ton 4x4 FRANKENTRUCK

The truck brought new sheetrock home yesterday, and hauled out the waste rock this evening. It's been busy constantly since our demolition at the beginning of April,...fetching building materials, and acting as trash truck ever since!
I haven't been able to tune it to better than 12.5 mpg average so far, but I've been working it more than tweeking the tune, and I think I could improve that slightly. Not exactly a gas sipping engine (!), weighs three tons, and the TH400 and 4.11:1 gears kill gas mileage, so 12.5 is doing pretty good.
Todd.
