What gears? How many miles on the rig? How many miles on the injection system? What speed do you want to drive at?

Without answers to the above, I'd guess anywhere between 10 and 17 MPG is possible, but without overdrive and pushing big tires I'd guess closer to the bottom end.

Im not sure on what gears but I think that he said it had the 4:11 both are dana 60's. It has 78,000 original miles. The injectors was just replaced with step up injectors. Im looking to drive it around 45 to 50 normally in the 50mph range though

Someone who drives a lifted truck shouldn't care about mpg
