Changed the oil and filter. She now has Rotella T6 running though her veins. Also took a ride. Was nice to drive the truck again. Missed the little quirks.

 

Filled up the tank today. 200 miles driven, 50 of which had a trailer and Explorer in tow, and 50 with just the empty trailer. 14.9 MPG. My last fillup was 14.5, and the truck didn't do any work on that tank.

Apparently it gets better mileage when it's working than when it's being lazy. Pretty sure some law of physics is being broken here.

 

Mine does the exact same crap....

 

Got my hooker aerochamber in for the 4.9 truck cant wait to hear it with that muffler vs open after the cats

 

Today (well, yesterday now) I picked up my '92 F250. It runs very well, now that I have had a chance to run it, and pulls strong. I can't say I didn't know the Suzi was behind it on a tow bar, but I can say it didn't bother the truck much.

 

Checked gas mileage in my '95.. 15.5mpg on the front tank.. always does worse on the rear tank for some reason.. (no its not leaking..)

Not too shabby for having a 4 inch lift, 33" tires, and 3.55 gears.. Can't put it in overdrive anymore, or else mileage drops to 12-13...

 

Got the right u bolts and plates for sterling 10.5 swap!!! Installed and lookin good.. Now to have a driveshaft fabbed up

 

saved up the $$$ to get the truck diagged and finish fixing the remainder of its codes, and will be taking it to a place that I feel charges very fair prices for what I have them do and already take the two cars to, the local shop Car Masters (Lexington Ky) IMHO does very good work, and will have them resolve the EGR valve isssues for me due to my back being out of commission sadly, but I know they will get her running smoothly again, also pressure washed the truck to get the tree stuff off, mainly berries and things like that, sap too...

 

Jaime, My wife and I were just in Lexington a couple of weeks ago. We were visiting her Dad (he lives over by Man of War and Richmond road) on the way to her cousins funeral in Ohio. If I knew you were there we could have stopped for a few.

P.S. He has a sweet 1967 Pontiac Grand-Prix Convertible in his garage. He bought it new.

 

went to the JY and got some doodads i was missing. Also found a nice doorpanel I needed. Gonna install those today after going to get my new tires put on. Decided on the BFG A/T's cause they seem to be pretty good for the money.

 

Mine gets the same, regardless...affected more by driving style than load. Towed the jeep on a trailer down to Moab, UT and back and got the same MPG as I do normally. Only time it changes is when I stomp on the accelerator...then it goes way down. :P

 

95F350 - what you hidin' under the tarp in this pic?? Inquiring minds want to know!!!

Edit - the pic didn't come out in my reply but it is the 3rd pic down in your original post.

 

Finally separated the water pump from the fan clutch. Took a cutting torch to accomplish. Going to buy a new water pump.

 

I noticed that on these older fords they love to work and they seem to get better fuel mileage.
