do plugs and a tune up. what gearing are you running with the 33's? if its 3.73's that would explane ur crappy mileage.
 
7 MPG.. My gawd, I was driving a 6,000lb F-250 with the aerodynamics of a brick wall and getting 12mpg. Take that damn thing to a compitent mechanic and have it fixed. You should be getting mid teen mpg in the city and close to if not more than 20 on the highway.

I always try to convince myself to buy another "newer" vehicle because I need it for this or that reason, but I always fall back on the fact I have no car payment right now and I can a good bit of maintenance for the cost of one payment.

x2, Dad has a 74 F250 with a 390, and back when it used to see highway time, it got around 12 also. If you're gonna trade it, trade for a 4 cyl Ranger. My 2.5 gets around 26 driving back and forth to work (mixed driving), and has a decent amount of power. Enough to pull a Jetta on a dolly back from Clatskanie anyway (some decent hills).

Must take you a while to do a trip at 24 MPH. That sucks. :thefinger:
 
TGD, you actually amused the infamous JohnnyU!

I think you accomplished something that nobody has ever done before!
 
pffft. You guys need girlfriends... badly.
and you, "Jane, you ignorant..." well you are too young to remember nevermind that joke.....
Then you tell ME, the failure, where you get enough money, at your age, to buy a 2001 truck OR a mustang, pay for rent, food, insurance, gas, and mods you can't even do yourself?
Never been much on people bragging about things they don't buy or do themselves.
Not how I was brought up I guess, but it rubs me the wrong way.
So you keep sucking daddy's nipple until he croaks and bragging about the nice things you have :).
I'll keep working my ass off for everything I own and failing in life.

Uh. No they dont.

So ding ding ding
We have a failure.

Yeah I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about a girl that goes to my school, owns a mustang and everything, cheaper insurance, blah blah blah, nice girl just gets everything paid for.

Maybe you should replace or check the o2 sensor on it because I had a car that was only getting like 15mpgs but it used to get 32mpgs, don't remember what it was though. At any rate your gonna have to fix your truck before you sell it so you can get a decent price for it or trade, cause no one wants a 2wd truck that has a v6 and mud tires that gets only 7mpgs, I could get a 460 big block in my ranger and still get better mileage then that.
 
i wont nag you for your decision. im a truck person myself dont really care for cars. My sis gots an 88 gt and my dad got a 82 gt. he wants me to get one but not now.

congrats , get a fast one

I brag about food? Why would I pay for rent, I'm only 17 and I live with my mom. I do pay for the mods, insurance and gas.

I don't live with my dad you dumbfuck, and I haven't really gotten to spend time with him in months.

Don't act like you are the only fucking person on Earth that pays for their own stuff, idiot.

And why don't you go cry to someone that cares?
