Hey every one i just wanted some input before i make any decisions. My truck is currently sitting on 35s MT's with Suzuki rims and 3 inches of shackles. I do enjoy the truck but with gas being about .50 cents lower then diesel right now and the fact that my current daily driver is a crew cab 3500 duramax i wouldn't mind putting a little work into the toyota if i could get some decent mpg out of her.

So can i gain any significant fuel mileage if i was to drop the truck back down to stock and drop say a set of 31 AT's on her. I know the 22RE is not the most fuel friendly motor out there. But i would be happy if i could make 22-24 MPG on reg octane vs 16 mpg on diesel right now. Plus it would keep miles off the big girl.

 

31's would definitely be easier to turn than the 35s. I would probably expect the mileage to jump up a little. Don't know how much. How you drive makes a big difference. I know i noticed a decrease in acceleration when i replaced the alloy wheels on my 92' with steel ones. I imagine smaller tires would have the opposite effect, especially with stock gearing.

 

Any recommendation on a light weight AT. I have run both Pro comp and BGF in the past and had good luck with both.

 

i meant to get in touch with you this evening lance, i saw the pics and still am definaly intrested down here in pensacola!

 

Oh ok. Let me know if you need any more. I am in no hurry to sell it as you can see and have been kicking around the idea of keeping her. But if i have a solid buyer i know it would make the wife happy . Any way i am going to order a new rubber peace for the intake and replace both rear shocks probably friday.

 

alright well i am going to see zac brown this weekend in bolix so i cannot see it this weekend, maybe we can work something out for next weekend, my father said he is willing to drive up there with me with the car trailer

 

Sounds good man. Just keep me up to date and if you need any more pics or info please let me know.

 

i think i have everything i need, i just talked to my father and hes good for next weekend but as i said we can just keep it open, things always come up!
