[Tranny flush with 130,000+?]

Ya that sucks. I just always look at that for a good time to just upgrade everything:)

Man! Thank you very much for that Argo. That was helpful. Glad I us it still. I have a lot of the stations that are on the list around me. I'm surprised maverick isn't on that list. But that would explain why that fuel sucks. When I was using it in my runner I always had fuel problems. Like my filter being clogged

[Chevy reaper]

lol I do agree I'm not big on the front but I do like it. Also like that it comes with light bara

Do you guys have tunes to run 93?

Where do you live?

Didn't mean to "take a dump" here. I was talking about what he is doing to his truck. Don't know why I would need a new thread to talk about the same damn thing. Isn't that what a build thread is for? Put update, ask questions, and share advice?

[MPG's average]

lol ok. That's pretty funny. What is top tier gas? I can't get 93. That was a bummer when I found out I couldn't

[MPG's average]

I've never heard that. But I wouldn't know. I can't 93 or else I would

[My New SS]

Me? I'm from Utah

[MPG's average]

i was at 15 mpg. now im at 14.7

 

Are any of you guys doing anything to your trucks? Like fuel injection cleaner? What kind of fuel do you run and where from? I do fuel injection cleaner every oil change. I also use 91 octane only chevron fuel.

 

The reason I do chevron. In my toyotas I used to run whatever and then I was told chevron had good fuel so I tried it and in my 4runner I noticed it ran better(not faster, just smother.)and got on average of 1.5 more then others. This is why I ask too

[My New SS]

Welcome. I started a thread on here a week or so ago about flushing the trans with 130,000 and everyone said don't do it. Just thought you should know

[The Calm Before the Storm - '04 SSS build]

A buddy and I was talking about this too. I would've thought he got better because he has a 05 with e fans and I have a 03 with out and he's around 15s all the time

[MPG's average]

With mine I have a volant cold are kit with OLD cone in the winter I am right around 15-16 and summer I'm 16-19.

[MPG's average]

And before any one says it. I don't expect good mpg.

 

I'm at 9.9mpg of that helps

do you drive hard? I don't even get that. Ever

[The Calm Before the Storm - '04 SSS build]

That pretty low. I just drove from Utah to black foot Idaho with about 700 pounds of stuff at speeds from 90-95(running late)and got 14.8. And yes I did check it twice. Because I was shocked

[MPG's average]

I also tried using the search button on this forum and came up with nothing. Is this because I'm stupid or is it that I'm using tapa talk

[MPG's average]

I did that too. And only found other web sites. Thank you

[MPG's average]

So I'm just curious. Me and my buddy are way different in the gas milage range. What are you guys averages?

[The Calm Before the Storm - '04 SSS build]

I'd like to have it for pulling. That'd be nice from the sounds of it

[The Calm Before the Storm - '04 SSS build]

Is the 80E have lower gears on top end? Does it help with MPG? How would it be with that swap and say 4:38's?

[The Calm Before the Storm - '04 SSS build]

Is the 80E geared differently then the 60E? Or is it all weight problems?

[rear end question....build the 10 bolt or find a ss or vmax 14 bolt?]

I don't know about the 9.5. I only know of the full float 10.5. That's what I thought you was talking about. Sorry bout that. I didn't know

[Chevy reaper]

From a SAS? Or from my ford? I put hydro assist on my truck when I do it so I've never had that problem. Now that I think of it. I never had that problem before then ether? My ford though! It had it really bad. One of the reasons I did away with it! My dad is a jeep fan, and he had that problem tell he went to D60/14 bolt

[Chevy reaper]

Lol ya you have owned a lot of trucks. Not a big fan of any IFS on anything. Unless it completely built which can be way more money then a good SAS. I like them all. Every brand has their weakness. I don't much care for fords but that was my first car was a 70 high boy. $450 and it never broke down. Even jumped it a couple times. But what does everyone else think about these trucks? Dodge also has on called a ram runner. Any one seen or own those?

[Chevy reaper]

Wow I had no idea that those other company's raced in nascar. I know that it's owned buy Japanese. But what I'm getting at is like dodge for instance. They are built in Mexico. Giving them our work. Chevy, as far as I can tell built in Canada? I may be wrong bout that but everything is at least made their. And ford.... Well I have no clue about where they are built. Ether way I have owned three toyota truck and neither one have I ever had a problem with them. But!! I do love my Chevy to death! Will never sell it. It is also a good vehicle. I just have had more major problem with it then my toyotas. And I beat the hell out of those trucks. I ask a lot out of the two I own now. Is that the only problem you have with them? It's not "American?"
