couldn't say, here we calculate fuel economy with liters per 100 kilometers
on the first 300 kilos i did, i tanked it for 60 liters so that 20l/100km ( not good), that was mainly highway driving.
i gave it a oil change with filter, an air filter, changed the tranny filter/mount and filled the tires to max pressure witch was only 35 psi. So now i must be getting slightly better fuel economy


and to come back to my mileage after the maintenance mentioned in my above post i managed 16.8l/100km thats a big change and am pretty happy about it ( this was mainly highway driving)

the baby is ready/out for winter, i bought 4 tarpaulins and already had some of my own but ended up returning them since my truck fitted inside my grandma's garage afther deflating the rear tires (note, dont trust mom with mesuring tape)
was gonna park it next to the garage but now its in it! i put some sta-bil in the gas tank, took the batt out and pluged it on my charger. used the truck to put my mazda's summer tires in it.
the driver side valvetrain is making lots of noise and knocking, if money adds up this winter we might be in for something special when the snow melts :)

updates on project chevy going low, for those who didnt see my random post i made, im dropping the chevy van

just came back from ontario took out my U bolts to go get new ones right the first time( was'nt sure of the width), il prob take an inch longer incase i add a leaf in the future and i ordered weld on axle pads for the flip, so the inch longer will compensate if the pad is thicker then the oem one. found some air shocks for the rear so il be able to adjust the hieght if im not satisfied with the oems, ( chances are they wont even fit anymore) . il start by the flip then go on from there. afther measuring i should expect a 6'' drop of the rear and the tires fit into the wheel wells.

gonna grab the U bolts tomorow and hope the axle pads ship quickly, sadly i forgot to measure my front rotors as drop sindles are different for 1'' and 1'' 1/4 so il have to order those some other time :(

Deflating the rear tires for the winter won't hurt them?

why would it? the point was not for storage purpose, it was for the truck to pass trough the garage door as clearance was an issue
