Had my truck at Toyota today to get the brakes done, they found an oil leak. Crank seal.

 

what were ur brakes doin??? surging???

 

that is why your mpgs are crappy... honestly getting a full size truck to solve your fuel mileage problem is a pretty stupied idea.

 

well my mpg sucked before...i havent noticed a real difference yet

 

How bad is it? I'm getting 18 or 19 and I'm 4x4 and on M/T's which means you should be doing better than me

 

im gettin 13-14 no lie

 

Then you need to stop driving like your 16 lol

 

i put 275 in the calculator n divided it by 21 n got 13 something

 

Just old. 70K miles being drove like a Porsche, towing and off roading..

 

even when i drive normally like easy on the brakes slow take offs spped limit it sucks

 

oh haha lmao...i think ur supposed to get new brakes like every 30k

 

That's not going to be accurate at all, if you actually want to know go and fill up your truck completely and reset your odo and drive for a bit, then go fill it up again just like you did before and however much gas you put in is what you will use to divide by the amount of miles you drove.

 

Just ditch the 2nd gen.
I get over 20MPG and even flooring it, I can get up to 350 miles on one tank of gas.
A ford will just suck the gas. Even if you have a bigger tank, it's that much MORE dollar figure at the pump to fill it up. It'll look like your saving but you have to pay out a bunch more. It'll still be even. And with the insurance, it will jump up based on your age and 4x4. I'm rated on a 93 4x4 and my rates are high.

 

HIDs installed after breaking a battery terminal and wiring the ballasts upside down and cursing the truck's existence...



Makes me wanna convert the Hellas to HID also.
Going to shoot for the HID strobes tomorrow after school.

 

Jesse - for my speech class, I did an informative speech on why talking on the cell phone and driving is a bad idea.

A+'ed that bih cause the professor was old and agreed and loved my statistics.

 

my dad n bro both have fords n its like $60 to fill up n it lasts awhile

 

Get a gps and see how much your speedometer is off.

I know a lot of people don't believe me but when my truck was stock height with 265/75's I could knock out 27 mpg if I drove like there was an egg under the pedal. After the lift and tires I could still get 23-24.

Jesse, a bigger gas tank is a stupid idea to trade the truck in. Let's do some hypothetical math. Say a Tacoma get's 20 mpg and has a 10 gallon gas tank, you would go 200 miles per tank, correct. Now, let's hop in the the Ford which get's 12 mpg and you have a 15 gallon tank. You're getting 180 miles per tank. What's the point. How hard is it to stop at a gas station?

Not to mention that Ford's are giant pieces of shit that have very well known cylinder head issues on the V8's that Ford never has or will never intend to warranty under any circumstances.

 

i think i will do a speech on the same thing or texting and driving

 

Costs me 65 bucks to fill up and I get 13 mpg average and I have a good paying job. Do you pay for the gas?

 

Fink, that shit looks good. I could have wired that shit up in like 15 minutes man. Too bad we live so far away. What does everybody think about a mod day?
