Hey all,
86’ f250 with the 3spd c6
... I live in Southern California and commute for work. I don’t mind keeping it at 55 but even doing so I know my gas mileage is way worse then it could be. I plan on keeping the truck for a long while so sometime in the future i plan to put a 5 speed in her. One reason I wanna swap it is because there’s no sense in putting a turbo on the truck if i’m already screaming at 60. Also can anyone speak to the difference between RDI’s “ auto “ vs “ manual “ turbo ?.
Fuel mileage will have to increase for me to keep the truck so considering I put money into the trans and the gear ratio, what’s a realistic mpg to aim/Hope for?
