It's funny.. The truck had 96K when I bought it. The guy who owned it before was anal about maintenace. Someone owned it before him and I have no idea the history it that ownership.My truck gets 18-19 MPG on E85 in mixed driving. It's a 2WD with a 5R44E and 3.73 gears with stock size tires.
There is something wrong with the truck if it is getting mileage that bad. How does it run? Is there any possibility the thermostat is stuck or is too low of a temp for the engine?
He had records for O2 sensors, fuel filters, new battery, plugs and wires, tranny flush, etc.
When I first got it I was getting 16.5MPG towing a 6x12 trailer with a quad on it. It's slowly gotten worse and worse.
It is throwing no CEL's, although I may hook up my OBD-II scanner on the laptop to see if it has any stored codes..
I don't feel like just throwing parts at it.
