I was going to fill it yesterday but the cars were 3 deep at Wal Mart at the gas pumps for the $2.97 a gallon gas. I finished putting the windshield adhesive on today, so the truck will be sitting for the next two days. It was still over 1/2 tank with 230 miles on the tank.

I thought I remebered the old Mopars in the 70s used ATF in the transmissions, at least the Valiants (had 5 of them). I would like to see 35 MPG on this tank but I think the winter blend is here and the high temps are in the low 50s compared to closer to 70-80 when I first got the truck on the road. Next, I'll get fresh fluid in the trans and diff, then make the cap so it can lift up on the left side.
