Attention: TDR Forum Junkies First tank with ALL around town traffic awarded 15. 5 MPG. Was hoping for more but i'm guessing it's about average. will eval highway mileage on vacation in spring. my 99 never got below 16 anywhere with rare occasions up to 25 on the freeway.
transmission does a lot of shifting around when passing under hard exceleration. I'm worried about this one for when i put on the 33. 5" toyo mt's.
I am in love with Tow/Haul mode. downshifts are cool and converter stays locked to 18-20 MPH when coming to a stop.
torque converter must go as soon as the warranty is gone..... sooo d@mn mushy. this thing would be really peppy with a tighter TC. would probably net similar results as a mild box.
pretty peppy for a stocker but again, i'm on little pizza cutters pumped to 70 PSI in the front, 50 in the rear.
Rides like a bowl of jello and bottoms out in the front while easing over speed bumps. not worried about this one. Kore, Carli, or Lorenz going in as soon as they start back to work after the holidays.
center console is too far away for me to safely place my coffee down while in traffic. ash tray is useless... ... i have cut down on smoking while driving. i kept getting in these awkward situations where i didn't know what to do with my cigarette and didn't have enough hands to handle the situation with the little coin purse with a lid they gave me for an ashtray located 4 feet from the driver. burnt my fingers a few times... ... but not the seat..... yet.
i love all the rest of the interior. supposed to go back for leather... ... think i'll take the $1500 refund and stick with the cloth. stereo is sufficient although true audiophiles will be disappointed.
a few little ticks and hums i'm not used to yet and am not sure where they originate yet... ..... i'm on em though. i think the tick is an injector or valve train and the hum is that aluminium shield on the tank.
tail light lenses... ..... i actually think they're growing on me. didn't like the head lights at first either but like em now. still think second gens are better looking trucks.
not sure what anyone can say here... ... just sharing, jeff
