Hey big guy, what kind of gas mileage do you get on that 2wd? What rear gearing are you running?

Thanks!

Lloyd

You mean right now? 0 mpg. I mean, I can't drive till the doc clears me and the rear brakes are fubar'd from the tow truck pulling it with the e-brake on.

In all seriousness, the truck was roughly about 16 to 17mpg. The rear is the 3.55 Non-LS. It's the stock rear that came with the truck when it was new.

And now you've got me curious, what made you ask?

I have two trucks a 91 f150 4wd, and a 74 f100 2wd, 3.5 rear My project right now is that I'm attempting to see how much mpg I can actually build into the 74. Building hp and then jacking up the rear to a 3.25. It was getting 16 -17 in its stock state. I hope for several more after build up.

Sounds like an interesting build up. I'm not sure I've every heard of building toward fuel economy, but with gas costs now I bet you'll be the front runner of a new trend. Keep track of what you do and how that 3.25 works out for you. If it was worth it I might consider doing something similar to my '92.
