WTF? Rear sags after lift.

[Blaine B.]

Imagine, you'd be getting 50 if it weren't for that slope

Well its more than the rear sagging after a lift!

 

[Yucca-Man]

Yea, but that doesn't change the fact that I can go 600 miles on a tank of gas

If ya'll choose not to believe me than fine, since I put the lift on I've only been able to squeeze 480 from a full tank...I don't have cruise control.

Just answer the question.

First off, do you have the correct speedometer gear? You changed the tire size and gear ratio, but waht about the speedo gear?

A more accurate way to figure gas mileage is to

1) Fill gas tank
2) Drive X miles and refill gas tank, noting the amoumt of fuel added (x gallons)

3) Divide Xmiles/x gallons=mpg

I have a stocker with 225's a 1" tb spacer and a snorkel and I get 285 and thats when I start stalling on exit ramps and right hand turns....There is no way he/you are more than doubling my Heep....

Yes approptriate speedo gear is in place.

GPK007-Do you have the RE 4.0 or the 4.0 H.0? 3 of my buddies have installed a tbs in their heeps with the old school 4.0's and none of them have ran right since.

do you honestly stand by your claim that you get 30+ MPG?

Yea mine is the HO and I only installed it cause It came with a bunch of parts in a Gas tank skid It's a rustys with the spiral and I wish I had it along time ago.

I do hear that on some TB mods you have to adjust the kick down cable but i didn't see anyreason to mes with anything.

I know i have had some k-ass mileage #s on my 97 4.0 5-spd (3.07, 235s) on long trips. pushing 420 miles on the highway, being reasonable (65-75).
I routinely get about 23-25 mpg (w/99-per cent rural/hwy driving.)
But, thirty plus?
Maybe with that Ultra Turbo Area 51 carb available only in the back pages of 70s porn mags...or so I've heard.
