Ok, time to settle this.... Sorry folks.. Have had a tone of alcohol and its
time to settle this one.. <<EFG> From EXP. I have broken in a couple of
trucks so far.
One was my 97 v6 DAK and the other was my dads 96 cheby 350..... Here is the
secret to an awsome break in. After you have pute a couple thousand on your
new ride hook it up to a huge load and haul it a great distance.....
Case in point... When I bought my DAK I was barly able to get 13mpg@65mph on the
highway as a rule..... My dad had his cheby and was hurting to get 13mph@65mph
anywhere....
I hauled my "X"-girlfriends stuff from Minnesota to Louisiana(about 1300 miles)
BTW: The load was aprox 6500lbs...
After the trip, my milage went up to 18MPG
To make a long story short.. I learned that I desirved a better woman. I then drover her
stuff back up with my dad's cheby(out of overdrive). Now I'm sitting here with my 12mpg(in town) and 17mpg(highway)v6 DAK and my dad is sitting her laughing at me while getting close to 17mpg(in fricken town)
(with a fricken 350cheby)ride.
The moral of the story:
Buy your ride..(Make sure it aint no v6)
Drive it for a while..
Then torchure it with a big load...
and sit back after it is all done and enjoy your "great" gas milage...
p.s. I do have one thing to add... I have the 32" tires... and four wheel drive.. other than that there is no difference...
