The Speedo is 5mph off at 70. So not sure how that affects odometer but if the truck stays moving ya, calculated 12 mpg doing my 60 mile 1 way commute to work. Around town with all the stop lights it is closer to 5. Barely sees 4th gear and time to slow down again lol.can't wait to move

12mpg for a lifted 4x4 1 ton with a 454, is pretty good

Ya that's why I'm scared to touch anything under the hood! I found a complete v3500 parts rig and nabbed all the belt drive accessories to put mine back to stock. I'm trying to get my a.c.working again my truck has a billet aluminum under drive serp setup right now. Looks bling but spins so slow the alt and power steering are doing no work at idle.... also has dual E fans.gonna keep them as they are probably helping my fuel millage the most.

Thank you, finally getting the electrical finished up. Got a patch panel for the huge hole where the DVD player was and install Retro sound dual knob radio... I took my door panels and seats to the upholstery shop they're getting reworked as we speak. So in the meantime I'm laying down dynamat in the doors and doing ceramic coating on the floorboards and I'll topcoat with bed liner.

Also fixed my rear main seal leak got new valve covers and the complete factory serp setup for A/C. Coming along nicely I'll post pictures when it starts going back together

Buckets up front would be sweet in that rig. Would give you open access to the back seat.
