Getting the Wheeling Fever
|
I have a 1993 4wd purchased with 187k. From the beginning, I replaced all fluids, belts, plugs, plug wires, all filters. Tested milage, 16-17mpg. Then replaced, ECT and O2 sensors. No change. Did seafoam in the tank, oil, also tried lucas in the oil. I sucked 3 rounds of seafoam into the vacuum line 2 days ago to clean the carbon. Figured Cat was clogged, (need a muffler anyways), got a good 'ol boy welded me a new muffler and removed my cat yesterday. Also put in a new PCV and grommet. My truck definately has more pep, and smoother ride, and I can actually accelerate in fifth gear up a decent hill now. I have my first full tank in to check milage. Will keep posted. Anything else that yall can think of to help out?

Do you have a lift, larger-than-stock tires, or any kinds of modifications at all?

Please put a cat back on. It does NOT affect your mileage and DOES help the environment.

22RE, the only smog around here is blown in from the thousands of square miles of forest fire going on right now. I smelled it as I walked outside, just after my breakfast of poached spotted owl eggs, with a side of tender fried whooping crane......Lighten up people

16-17 under cold-weather winter conditions is probably about right. This time of year it should be higher. I'm getting 19-20 in mixed city/hwy with my 160k 89 22RE 4x 5-SP xcab. New O2 and warm weather seems to help. Check the timing.

Have you tried the poached california condor eggs? Those are nice this time of the year. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
