you are getting 12.3 mpg?? with 3.73s and an overdrive?? Are you sure you are calculating properly (not saying that you cannot add) but that is a sweet setup for gearing. At 55 mph you should be running perfect economy rpms...

Does anyone know if the Bendtsens adapter can be used in a truck with the original engine mounts or do you have to install side mounts.
