Starting to notice a diff...

with the motor. Starting to loosen up a little like everyone said it would. I have noticed on gassers before, but not this drastic. Finally, 18,700 miles. Revs better and now, if the roads are wet, will light the tires and go sideways in 3rd. Would not do it before...I was real easy on it for a long while though. I have not noticed any increase in milage since I have started to drive it a little harder...still at 17.? with mixed driving and not trying to get good milage.

very happy with the truck. Trying to talk the wife into gauges

You know, after mine hit 18.5k, my mileage has gone up 2mpg (this is only over 3 tankfuls). It sure isn't due to a change in fuel, but I did go to syn oil around that timeframe as well.
