Re: gas mileage

x2, even at today's price of gas, it's going to take quite a while to pay for the swap.

Is 6-7 normal for you? I get 10-11 with my carburated, single cab much to the dismay of one of my co-workers with a mid to late 90's extra cab bb dually, as that is what he gets with fuel injection and OD.

Oh factor in the extra cost of getting a 700r4 built to live behind a BB, especially if you use it like a truck. I've seen 4l80e and stand alone controllers mentioned before behind 454's

I'm kinda like duct tape- no real purpose, but handy to have around.
