Well since that first pic was taken it now has shorter rear tire and the 2 in blocks were removed from under the front springs.
Well Today I went and did my baseline MPG test run and came out MUCH better than I thought I would.
I did a round trip from Mid town kroger fuel stop in ashland to grayson and back.
I did not try to drive for max MPG Ii ran 65-68on flat ground and held to floor on the hills. It only dropped 4 MPH on any of the hills.
I made sure to use the same pump and fill to same point (lower lip of filler pipe)
The result was 49.4 miles and 4.2 gallons of fuel used for 11.7 MPG.
I had heard these 12V cummins got good milage, but I didn't know it was this good. I think this is good mileage considering the over 13K empty weight, and the bluntness of the box.
Mods will be limmited because of the 3 weeks i have before my trip.
I will of course continue as time premits.
