Sorry, we don't drive vehicles like this for gas mileage.

GG I had a 74 C10 350/350 and it got about 7 to 7.5 mpg. Only mod I gave it was headers and dual exhaust. First vehicle when I was 16.

In that era of cars and trucks, they used really shitty smog devices. I bet one of them may be defective? I had a 71 El Camino that had a throttle vacuum regulator with a smog pump. I kept it on the car, but I disabled them to make it look like they were working. Always got about 15-18 mpg.

How fast do you take off from a standing start? I know I can really drop the gas mileage in my Suburban with quick starts.

I believe our Ford Transit Connect, dog van, is better built than the 17 CTSV was. |

My first and only Chrysler product was a '99 Durango. Had a bunch of issues including the tranny which were fixed under warranty. The icing on that shit cake was when I went to trade it in I discovered that the stealership had branded the title with a "not actual mileage" statement. Fortunately for me the stealership that took it in trade didn't notice until a few days after the deal was done. I tried to help the get the title corrected with the CA DMV but in the end I think they wound up eating the lost value.

I've had it in the dealership once for a recall fix on the drag link and to have the head unit/radio replaced. Other than that, the truck is rock solid. If it didn't have the cummins, I'd have walked away though. Dodge gasser motors suck balls.

From personal experience a truck like that should get about 10mpg or a little better. Something is wrong, vacuum advance come loose?
