With oversized tires and a V8 the gas milage shouldn't be all that great. Welcome to our world!

With those big tires, if you get 15 on the highway, you're doing good. It also depends on your rear axle ratio.

ok...well...im getting 12.5 mpg.....andactually they are 31.5's not 33s.....think a tune up will help-?

couple questions though.....

the idle undulates almost to thew point of stalling...seems to only happenwhen the fan kicks in...as when you here aclick...the idle goes back to normal....

and..from experience on the forum...any thing to watch out for.....mechanicalwise....

thanks....

cheers,

Paul
