Not a bad looking truck zmax, what MPG does she get?
Ha, mpg, haha, i think it is measured 1/4 mpg, before the last engine went, (rolled a rod bearing) it got about 10mpg.

I seriously looked hard at buying a newer truck, but my tags, taxes, ins, are so cheap with this one, i own it, and when its done, i will know what i have, i wont be buying someone elses problem. sometimes i wish it had a/c, its got a 4 speed tranny with the granny low, this truck, in my eye, was the last true truck made by ford, solid cast iron t-case, solid front axle, etc. its also something i can work on so i dont need a mechanic for lots of the little stuff. i do however agree, fuel injection would be really nice! This beast has got limited slip diff's and goes most anywhere i want, the only time i had it stuck was once when high-centered in a snow drift, i run tall/narrow tires so i can find the bottom and here in kansas, we have some pretty ugly stuff. i work on center pivots quite often and getting thru a field which has just had a 1' rain can be quite fun!

dang, is it deer sason yet? i need to just go sit in my stand maybe..............shoot the bow some more..............................check equipment..............................buy my tag................hmm............................ ..............sharpen my knife.......still counting days...only 12 to go.
