1997 chevy s10...next mod
Hi guys, long time lurker here.
Well, I have this 1997 chevy s10 2.2 liter that I use for work/school. I drive probably 60/40 city in this vehicle. While taking longer trips, I've found that 30ish mpg is deffinately doable, but my overall average is closer to 26.5. I havn't done any hard core mods, but I've done a few little things.
+Complete tune up (plugs, wires, pcv, fuel filter, k&n, etc)
+synthetic oil & differential fluid
+AC delete
+40 psi on new tires
+135 amp alt with smaller/lighter pulley
I have a smaller/lighter crank pulley on order, and I have new o2 sensors sitting in my tool box. I'm trying to decide which mod/mods should be next in line. I need to have a toolbox for work, so I was forced to take my toneau cover off. Thinking of these mods, but not necessarily in this order:
+Body kit
+flat hub caps
+e-fan
+computer tuner
+grill block
+shorty antannea or relocation
+LED's all the way around
+header/cam/complete rebuild (headjob, ultralight connecting rods, etc)
+gear swap (3.73 to 3.08)
I plan on buying the scangauge this week so I can verify any improvements. I guess what I was wondering is which mod, in your opinion, should I go with first. I've done quite a bit of mechanical work, but not so much in the way of aerodynamics. My goal is to be able to get 33-35 mpg out of this truck overall, while still maintaining its usefulness as a truck.
Thanks for the advice guys
