Did my first fill up this am. Pretty impressive. 35 mile highway drive home last saturday and all the rest was in town with stop and go. It makes sense though, 35 mph and its crusing in 8th gear and like 1400 rpm. Come up to a stop light and engine shuts off. All great ways to get better fuel mileage
Hand calculated came to 19.66

Put 42 miles on it from the fillup this morning and its showing 24.2 at the moment

Yea 36 gallon. Ill probably fill up at a half tank like i did this morning. It was 50 bucks from half a tank (to be fair it was also shell supreme at 2.95 gallon) if i woukdve done any other brand supreme it wouldve been about .50 a gallon cheaper

Very nice lookn' truck Coy! you'll be glad you went with the 4x4, it really helps with the 60' times
Here's my old girl after a bit of love today. I finally got around to getting the coating on the passenger side. I already corrected the paint, so just had to wash it and strip the wax off.

About to roll over 70k miles, and I'll be towing a boat to the keys in a month. Any particular maintenance/services I should do to the truck before I go?
It's almost due for an oil change and tire rotation, which I'll be doing before I leave. The tires themselves are perfect. I changed the spark plugs at 50k and had a coolant exchange performed at 60k. I have a good drop-in air filter in place, and I cleaned the MAF/MAP sensor at about 50k as well. The brakes are not factory - I had to replace front pads and rotors at about 35k due to rust and a sticking caliper. They've been squeaking a bit here lately but the pedal feels fine.
I think that covers the major things I've done. Anything you guys think I should look into before I travel?
