    All,

    Had to do some maintenance on the taco so did plugs, red bullet solenoids, and the urd 3deg cam gears.
    My setup.
    1. 14 taco. 197k miles. Bumpers, winch, 33in pizzas, topper, drawer system, 3in lift.
    2. I monitor the scan gauge while driving for best mpg. So, no hammering it getting on the freeway and such.
    3. Drive almost set route every week and same schedule on the weekends.
    4. About 18mi to work with 2ish being non freeway.
    5. Volant intake and I have the OTT.
    6. Gas light comes on at 29o daily driving or 310 on road trips.


    Feedback. I used the last 5 tanks before the upgrade and just finished 5 tanks and used my Fuelly numbers.
    1. My last 5 tanks were 15.2. Last 5 I am sitting at 15.7.
    2. There are two hills on my drive to work where it usually gears hunts and downshifts. It does that a lot less now.
    3. More pull between 1600 and 3k.
    4. More engine noise between the same ranges.
    5. If I need to get on it a lot more efficient response and more pull in gears 2 / 3 / 4.
    6. Numbers show about .5 mpg improvement. Gas light comes on at 300 daily and 318 on freeway.

    Worth is up to you. May goal was to add as many improvements as I can because SC prices are dumb.
