Mileage sounds pretty good Ron. Just a couple of more items and I can call Jody

 

your going to love it alan....i never had so much fun in my hole life...what do you need next???

 

Speerco IC, BTS VB or Tranny, Cryoed Rotors, PS Pump (impending death)

 

wow your going all out on this one...id like to get a bigger ic but hard to find for an early 99...do you need a ps pump? or is there some thing im missing on mods??

 

Its on its way out, just waiting for the funeral announcement or spring which ever comes first.

 

Glad ya made it back safe Ron. Sounds like the truck is running great. That is some pretty good mileage too.

 

Sounds like a great run. So you like that 80econ huh? I like it running around Indianapolis on the highways. Sucker goes from 70 to 90 in nothing flat and sounds great doing it.

Again, congrats on the run, and thanks for the update...

 

i was prety impressed too..some times im glad i have the smaller turbo and hpop...but id give a couple mppg for the added hp

 

i love the 80..the 120 is awsome too but it makes my trans sceam for help....

 

Cool, sounds like you are one happy camper! I know what you mean now, my truck is extremely quick and peppy now with 32" tires again. It is amazing how it gets up and goes, it's so much fun now!
