My other inflator broke, so i got another one.So hopefully, the next tank will be better.
322.6 miles / 18.232 gallons = 17.69 mpg
If you ever need a trans go to a 700R4. 1st. gear would be easier to get the truck moving requiring less throttle. OD may never be needed unless you hit 85

OD may never be needed unless you hit 8585! With a 700, you can go 35 in OD, you can go 40, 45 in OD and lock up. Some even go into lock up in 3rd.

Final drive would be 1.87... probably idle down the road at 45
