What did you do to your truck today?

[dirtyoldman]

Filled it up. My tank is only 25gal (sometimes I wish it were bigger), but I only put in 17gal and came out to 16.4mpg. Not bad since I was really pissed off and did a few WOT runs onto the interstate to 70mph.

Gary, where is the tank on the Burb? I know your 3/4ton and a 454, but the frame is still the same length as my truck (I think). So why in that case did the ECLB trucks get a 35gal while you're sitting on 42 on a shorter frame?

It's where the spare tire would normally be on a truck,between the frame rails behind the rear axle.That's why the spare tire is inside in the back.Replacing the fuel pump is a royal pain,ask me how I know

That explains it. I couldn't put a tank like that in mine if I wanted too. My exhaust would be in the way (it is already 1/2" away from the spare and the shock).


Just been driving it.....all week long.....and putting on quite a few miles, but its all been highway so my MPG should be pretty good. The truck just got dive-bombed by bird shit either last night or this morning. There's like 4 spots on the ext cab on the pass. side.

I just filled mine up with 91...33 gallons @ 4.079=$135.00(about)

Installed the 140amp alternator(what a PITA).Checked all the fluids and even had time to give it a bath.Not bad looking for an old truck.

I'm f'n wore out now,gonna sleep good tonight

Got underneath it to replace the oil level sensor and found that the harness just had a cut wire. A little solder and all is well again.

Whooped a Mustang yesterday.

That's good...
He probably needed to be brought down a notch anyway...
Did you ever put the center caps back on it??

Not yet, but will be doing so this weekend. I bought a product called "The Black Box" by Turtle Wax yesterday, solely for black vehicles, and plan on cleaning that puppy all up this weekend.

Yeah, I know. As for the punk in the Mustang. I went to pass him cause he was doing 35 in a 55. As soon as he saw me start to go around him, he floored it. Well needless to say, so did I. His nose was at my door handle when I had to let off because I was approaching the top of a hill.

I wonder why people do that...
It sometimes happens to me too and it makes no sense... but like you, I then go on around them... don't matter to me if they like it or not...

If it wouldn't have been for that hill, and the thought of oncoming traffic, I never would have let off. I just didn't feel like dying or killing anybody else. I was pulling away from him.
