It seems to be very good on gas as is. My wife opened the glove box today, which I forgot to clean up and when she grabbed the owners manual it stuck to her fingers!
I cleaned the glove box and the owners manual pouch this afternoon. Lubed all of the hinges and lock cylinders which were so stiff you could not lock the doors with the key when I bought the truck. Got the fender to door gaps lined up better. The right front fender was replaced some time ago, I think the hood as well, but can't be sure.
New wiper blade assemblies (got a noreaster coming) some seafoam in the tank and drove it to 80 miles on the tank today. Still well above 3/4 tank with a 17 gallon tank, but some of the fuel is very old since it only had 275 miles put on it since the last state inspection in April.
I was going to be patient and not mod anything until I got a baseline mileage, but the mud flaps just had to go, so now they are in the recycle bin. Factory flaps, I wonder how much gas was used in 124k miles to drag those flaps through enough atmosphere to travel around the globe 5 times.
Pics coming in this thread in a few minutes.
