Well into my upgrades, but never got around to writing here
I posted a while back after I got pulled over and breathalyzed for driving to slow on the freeway.
Signing up for this site in order to share that story got me reading about all the potential mods, and I have been obsessing over mileage ever since.
I have a 1983 Ford F-250 truck which I run on 100% biodiesel. It has the 6.9 liter International V8 and a 4spd manual (where 1st is extra low gear, so it is essentially a 3 spd, no overdrive)
I use for my job as a hauler/mover/general handyman, which means it regularly has to hold up to 3 tons of material and being even remotely aerodynamic is out of the question when fitting an entire 1 bedroom apartments worth of furniture and belonings into the back of a pick-up.
I have been documenting the progress of my mods on my blog (
Redirect), but I am not sure what category it would be most appropriate in here (general fuel economy? experiments? biodiesel? how-to?)
Incidentally, I also have a Kawasaki EX-250 (0-60<6seconds, 70mpg) and my second job involves promoting and supporting the use of the bicycle as a means of everyday transportation, but I think actual mods make for more exciting reading.
