Not really an eco car...
I have two 4 cylinder, 5 spd trucks that I'd like to get a little more out of.
My daily driver is an 09 Ranger regular cab. It's mileage varies quite a bit - mostly with wind direction/speed. It's been as high as 12lph and as low as 7.3lph. Lately it's been around 8. The front will be blocked up soon enough and I have a cap on it. Synthetic oil all around and tires inflated more than usual. It's a start. The other truck is a cabover with a 16' box. It's a Hino with a 3.8l turbo diesel. I don't drive it much. Its going to be a moving truck first and then a camper. It would be cool to build a useful tail for it. It'll need skirts, too. |

2. As in #1, the front of the truck will look like its been through a sand blaster and a small meteor shower if nothing is on there. I'd like to keep it on until I can find a bra or something for it. 3. see #3 4. I read that with these units it's better to open the hole in centre of bumper and close all the grill. Do you have more info I should be aware of? 5. I can open the airbox a bit, rather easily. I have hole saws. :D 6. Was thinking of getting a circulating heater. Dey da' bomb yo! At least my experience says so. 7. Eventually. 8. I've been folding in the mirrors on highway trips. 9. As above. 10. Was thinking a nice air dam at the front. Still not sure which is better. Quote:
I live 8km from a truck wrecker. I'm hoping they have something for the cab. |
Slapping the Hino engine into the Ranger would be cool :D
Anyway, have you ever considered a Diesel swap for the Ranger? |
