You guys missed the part where he was doing between 85 and 90mph when he got 8mpg. It wouldn't take much of that with a 360 to ruin the average on a tank. I think my dad averaged 14 with his 318 RCSB 2WD 99 Ram when it was new. He had it about 2 years. 3 transmissions later he sold it.

idk man, my 1974 F100 on 39s with a 5.9 BB gets better than 10 something is wrong there if you are only getting 10 and not beating the shit outta it you need to investigate wtf is going on


but im pretty sure 315/75/16 are 35s and a 305/75/16 is a 33
my old Z71 had 305s and they was 32.9 inches (close enough to be 33s IMO)

but you can take it to a shop to have it re-calibrated to the tire size


When did you put 39's on it?
Last I seen you didn't know how to change a u-joint :lol:
