  You should get that throttle checked. It should have more than 2 positions
  (ON/OFF). Your fuel economy is worse than my neighbour's 76 3/4 ton with a
  400 ci V8. >>
 
 
 Well, you maybe right, it's sucking the fumes from that ARCO gas now
 with 96 miles on the odo. Since you boy's and girls want to now my
 mph, I'll tell you again. 4500 rpm in fifth gear (0.73) with 3.91 gears
 and 26.5 inch tall rear tires, come on now...don't make me tell you!
 It was stable as a rock without the sway bar also the kids weren't
 with me. Oh yeh, it would have pulled to 5000 rpm easily also,
 calculate that speed! So, the gas milege isn't the truck's fault.
