Is the diminishing return of miles v. effort at about 60 mph, or is it a range of 45-??? mph? I'm also considering removing a steel rack (less than 200 lbs) from the bed for the winter. I've had mixed opinions about the actual drag the rack creates. Re: 3.4L Gas Mileage?????

Needless to say I almost passed out when I saw I spent 500 in gas last month. NJ-ME-NJ run... Re: 3.4L Gas Mileage?????

Hey!!!...I resemble that remark...... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> As I now live in Texas on the Gulf coastal prairie, the only hill I encounter is an occasional overpass. Suppose I'll just relax and let the "lil T" cruise at 70 MPH. Really appreciate all the info/opinions, guys... I'm sure there will be more questions as I intend to hang on to this truck awhile.

This is with the truck in my sig. I have 31" LTXs with a 4.10 rear I turn about 3100rpm at 70mph 2950rpm at 65mph. I think that with these trucks just have a sweat spot with the 5spd that it doesn't have to work so hard when its turning that fast since its in the meat of the powerband. Anyways thats just my observations. 1997 T-100 100k and counting Green 5spd 4x4 Ext Cab isr mod Aisin Manual hubs Page 2 of 2 1 2 Moderated by  4x4Wire, Dandeman, ErikB, kewlynx  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
