Got that right!
I guess mine doesn't help it's got the 3 speed C6 and 3.55 gearing..... but still!
My 11,000 pound 3 speed motorhome gets better MPG than a damn F150! Like COME ON! Fine, it's a diesel, but what are the odds?

matt, i cant think of any off the top of my head but i can look tomarrow, or i might get off my lazy *** and go now, but that would require work LOL.. but all i can think of right now is the TB warming hoses that runs coolant through them to keep the TB from freezing
EDIT: Just looked, my '87 doesn't have any vaccum lines but while looking it occured to me that it seemed like my friends '88 had vaccum lines running from his cruise to the TB or somewhere in that area..
do you have cruise?
dose it work?
