That’s something I hadn’t thought much about, but I have less than 3k on the clock - Covid showed up, the outdoor parks closed and our travel plans have been decimated... maybe it’s still getting warmed up?How many miles do you have? The engine may not be fully broken in yet.
It's possible the engine may still be a little tight. I was seeing improvements, slight, up to around 5K.That’s something I hadn’t thought much about, but I have less than 3k on the clock - Covid showed up, the outdoor parks closed and our travel plans have been decimated... maybe it’s still getting warmed up?
Good to hear - I try to keep things in perspective - I do drive a streamline safe after all...It's possible the engine may still be a little tight. I was seeing improvements, slight, up to around 5K.
60k miles total, about 30k on 37s with 4.10 gears. Backhighway 55 mpg avg 16-17 mpg. 80-85 highway road trip avg 13 mpg. 75-80 mph towing ~2k lb utility trailer 9-11 mpg.17mpg with 37's and stock 4.10 gears. 16mpg with 5.13 gear upgrade but HUGE increase in drivability.
We're dealing with finger tappers in vehicles.. this is what we've devolved to.
I'll say this.. 4.10's are USELESS with 37's.. 5.13's are BARELY usable with a manual above 10k feet where I play. I thought 5.13's would be a huge difference but when you think about it, it's only a 20% increase. With the manual trans, I'd say 5.38s are in order.60k miles total, about 30k on 37s with 4.10 gears.

I run 3rd gear towing and 4th gear normally. Never been able to use 5th or 6th even before the 37s. Any time I try I don't see any improvement in instant mpg and ability to hold speed is difficult.
