And so it begins !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh sorry, but at what speed is it 8mph off? That would give you the percentage.

Like on my truck at an indicated 60, I am actually going 67, so about 11%, when I am driving without the GPS I just figure 10% since it is easy, 3mph at 30, 4mph at 40, etc.

It's 8mph, not 8% though. Ok, I'll have some coffee and after that I'll put the pen to it and see what happens.

Ok, so I got my nerd on.

Looks to be about 11-12%, give or take a couple of miles. I mapped on google maps when I filled up and where I drove, and heh, what do you know, it's about damned accurate. Now, I just have to find that receipt.

Ok, 18.3 gallons. Now I ran this thing down to fumes so I'm assuming that's pretty much as far as last time, so it's close.

15-16 mpg give or take, ehh, sounds about right. I'm loaded up too. Running about 70 mph the whole way, and some city before I left and some when I got here.

Does that sound right?

Jeff, coming down south to see you soon!

Cool! Looking forward to meet you! I talked to my mechanic that works on my other cars about my cruiser and he said bring it by. A friend also pointed me to a hot rod shop too.

tweaked some decel fuel cut and ignition and fueling on the way home to try and better the mileage. I have left long term fuel trims on and run a 100 cell catalyst. It passed emissions with flying colors.

Had to stop at Mcd's and get a chocolate ice cream dipped cone. Figured I'd update while making a mess.

Don't really need to say much. Alls well.

 

[wayneosan]

I'm ready to build another one. I'm going to sell this one!

 

[RockJock82]

What do you think you will ask for it? I considered building another one too.

 

[wayneosan]

I dunno, 12? You know we'll never get what we have in them out, so for this one, I'd say it's a good starting point.

 

[RockJock82]

I don't think you'd have a problem selling it for 12-15k

 

[wayneosan]

If it's someone on here I'll be glad to see it around and I'd love to ask 12k for it. Actually, I did already.

Locally, I might ask for more ;p but I really want to see someone enjoy it.

I want to build one and put a turbo on it at this point. Next one is going to be serious.

That is exactly what I want to do to my 6L in my LX.. 500+ HP is very easily obtained with adding some boost to these motors..

Turboed 4200 atlas would be cool!

The process of swapping engine and selling the rig afterward seems to be standard fare. Good luck with it.

sad

Actually, I REALLY REALLY DON'T want to sell it.


I have to take care of some business. I want this truck really bad. The fam really likes it too.

I just need to move some cashola around, and if it takes building another one, then so be it. Family first.

I'm a lifer, so have at you...

LS conversion

Just got a 91 Fj 80 about a month ago. Looking to swap a 5.3 but prefer a 6.0 with a 6sp. i'd like to see yours and ask a lot of questions.
