hey everybody.
my OBS 7.3 got 18mpg before the fuel change to ULSD, 16-17 after. the new 6.0 gets 15.
i did a new mod to my truck today. i found a mini number plate sticker, its just a mini replica of the one that i run on my quad, with my name and number.
also i got a little more done on the bike:
i hope it works

The better transmissions help MPG also.

I might wash it tomorrow... I have to find my hose. I'd probably also have to park it in my back yard, since my spigot is in the garage and there's a little window there.
Any suggestions on wax? I have Meguiars tech wax.

I can't imagine how much time that would take me on this truck, especially with how much of a perfectionist I am when it comes to cleaning (the trouble is getting me to do it in the first place). I've used the tech wax before, on my old Ranger. It helped bring out the little metallic specs in the paint, since they were dull.
This is different, up close and in the sunsets it shines even with road dirt on it.

Well that could potentially change for next year to a gearhead room mate (no guarantees on not hating me) if central isn't a bunch of dbags about things.

hahaha well have to find out.
as of right now all my roomate does is wake up at about 3 everyday (he doesnt go to class) play video games for a few hours, then go out and do a bunch of drugs and come back sometime around 7am when im waking up. and he wonders why hes on academic probation..
There really isnt any need for him to live on campus either, his parents live a quarter mile from the school

Hello all!
As far as mileage my '92 gets 13.5 mpg and last time I checked my '96 7.3 was getting 16.5 or so
Onus the cab on the '83's not too bad, one cab corner needs to be fixed. Although that's the one body part I can't swap due to the VIN# (I need the title to scrap the truck) but, I could sell it to you. The truck will be at Ray's shop soon so we can swap parts with Josiah's truck.
Speaking of Josiah who is Lisa??
