Mark that's pretty cool your little 2.3 can net you 35+ MPG... wish I could get my MPG that high!!

 

And whats weird about that is that this little 2.3 does worse on gas around 30 on the highway keeping it around 65-70, but if i go faster say keep it at 75-80mph and the rpms almost 3k it does even better and goes about 35+ on the highway.

This is why Im not a fan of the 3.0, plus the fact I locked one up without even abusing it and having regular maintanance on it to.

 

Thet little engine that could.... I think I can I think I can I think I can.

 

you bought the wrong thing if you want to save gas!!!

 

I can say I'm actually happy with the 20 and 24mpg my Sport 4x4 with the 4.0L gets.

 

^WHAT?

no way does the 4.0 get 24 mpg. i might get 20 highway and thats doing 65-70 at 2k rpms.

oh and i want to see pics of the gt500.:D

 

Yeah I got 24.something when my buddy and I took a trip down to Georgia. I get 20 and 21 in the city. Now I also get 12 and 12mpg too but that's a different story.

 

Larmo, to answer your Q about is it worth the money for all that stuff, well to be honest, yes it is! I gained horsepower, MPG and looks overall. Its your truck, and after a while you will appreciate all these little things youve done to it. Plus, who wants to stay stock?! lol

 

if your looking for improved performance i wouldnt recommend a flowmaster exhaust. i got my exhaust and noticed no performance changes at all, if you really want to spend 300 or more bucks just go ahead and get the x-cal 2 programmer.

 

man i need to go put a new 4.0 in my truck. more horsepower AND better mileage. that would be nice. or the motor from the edge would be a nice transplant too.

 

Thanks for the input, guys... I appreciate it. I'll post some pics of the GT500 later. ;-)
