Yea I mean I love the truck and its a animal in the woods with the axles that are in it just wondering why it kills me at the gas pump and see if I could maybe get a little more info on the set up

Get the code from the trim tag and post it up, me or another member will decode the gear's for you.. But the 3spd auto is definatly not going to help you make feul mileage, mite think of a zf5 swap..

Easiest way to tell is count the number of pan bolts

C6 has 17
E4OD has 20

Every 88 diesel i've ever seen has the C6, and every gas truck either has the C6 or AOD.. I think the E4OD was 1989-up but not 100% sure..

And now you know why you were able to trade an $1100 Toyota for it!

Go taller with the tires to start. That will lower the rpms on the highway.
