Re: Welp, it's been fun...
I hope you are being realistic with your MPG expectations.
A 4x4 will not get 20mpg, but I would suspect with a 4speed trans and the right tuning, you could get 15 average.

Re: Welp, it's been fun...
Harness work is fun, isn't it? lol.
I pulled my entire harness apart to clean up and re-route on my jet boat swap. It was a decent amount of work, but the clean look after the fact was worth it. ![]() ![]()
