Made the '92 do something.

Went and drove a 100miles to go get a brush hog for one of my tractors on sat. Decided to haul some scrap iron to pay for fuel.

I hauled 1400lbs - truck sits pretty much level Truck was a hair over 6000 with almost a full tank of fuel.

Its got 3.54's in the rear and 4.10's in the front yet - I need to dig my other 60 out and swap it. I do really like the different gears better then my 3.07's and no OD or 4.10's it had. It did abit over 18mpg
