From what I have seen, most do burn it Ok but there is typically a ~5 - 10% penalty on economy.
I do have equipment that had recalls due to the stuff.

That's an awesome truck Glenn! Hope everything is going well. That truck should burn gas with some ethanol in it. Ethanol just likes to eat up certain rubber fuel lines. So anywhere there's rubber lines, I'd use an E85 rated hose instead of a standard rubber hose if possible.

Thanks Travis, good to hear from you again. Good luck on my old CC, lol. Give those guys hell for me.
We would spend some time up here in the Black Hills and my wife has always given me crap about my Dad's old truck not running. She also has a car stored up here, its a 68 Buick Skylark GS with the California trim package on it, her first car. It would always start and the pickup wouldn't, so I finally did something about it.
Also thanks for the comment on my 'towing signature'.

Man, it is just so awesome to see your pops truck running. I obviously never knew him but things like this for some reason are very important in my world. Maybe spending time up at the farm and slowing down a bit isn't so bad for the soul. Enjoy the time, i think I would genuinely.

Thats a good looking truck Glenn.
I always rip all the vacuum lines off and just use the 1 for the trans and inside truck. And no trans and transfer case have different fluids
Good luck with it
