Thank you. I haven't checked mileage yet, was waiting till after the egr and exhaust manifold were fixed. Curious to find out also. Will update when I find out.

Your welcome. Thats a sweet truck. Are you still going to put a flatbed on it?

Yes, I'll eventually put on a flatbed. The bed on there now is rougher then it looks. Actually want to price some out at a local dealer. Might build my own.

did 225 miles round trip today in the truck. Went up to tug hill, NY to ride their huge trail system with the snowmobiles. We had a blast up there and the truck hauled great.

Hauled the three sleds and had to use the four wheel peel about 2/3rds into the trip due to snowy roads. Mostly up hill all the way there, got only 8.2 mpgs. Have to check mileage on way back, definitely used less gas coming back.

Also got my exhaust parts yesturday. Got the 3" y 2 adapters and band clamps. Gonna try to get one section welded up and have it installed tomorrow with 3" tail pipe. Will keep you guys posted.

Just got back from the gas station, topped off the fuel tank. I got 10.3MPGs on the haul back. Much better, that's with extended warm ups. Next I will have to get some figures for unloaded mileage.

Looks good!! And somewhat familiar....


They'll pull a house down and pass everything but a gas station.

I might be buying a similar plow for mine if I get it fixed. Glad mines an automatic, I hate plowing with 5 speeds lol.

Thanks

I took the whole plow assembly off. No snow this winter so far. Thinking about putting the plow on my swb 1/2 ton, also a 5 speed.

Aww man. I either want my next truck to be a diesel, or a 454. And this truck makes the decision so much worse,
I know it's been done to death, but have you thought about putting on a set of tow mirrors?
