thats about what i was getting with mine. is yours a 4x4?

 

[wis bang]

my 3.4 gets

around 20mpg 'cause I'm not standing om the gas all the time like I did w/ the 2.8:bash:

 

[typhoonzz]

On my old 91 Sonoma w/ 2.8L and 5 speed, 2wd I averaged 20mpg all the time up till the day I traded it with right at 180k on it...

 

[85reds10]

no mine is 2wd

 

[Tha_Boom]

Well mine had 202,000+ miles on it. it was getting tired.

but i think i am gettin around 20 or so with the 4.3 and i am not having to keep it floored anymore either.

 

[Blazin]

2 tanks per mile.

 

[blackbeast]

whats gas mileage

I have been refering to as gas footage!

 

[proflo'dS10]

Looks like you need a Pro Flo, Rick.

 

[rick]

While we are on the subject

dont you want to get rid of that troublesome thing???But seriously what did you have to get off of for the 9 in.and brake set up?

 

[proflo'dS10]

Rick:

I actually may be selling the Pro Flo if it does not sell on the truck. My truck is on Ebay right now and I am offering it with a new 383 with intake and carb. If the truck sells, I will very possibly sell the ProFlo. I have a lot of upgrades I have performed to make it better and even have 2 different chips for it for 2 different cam intake duration ranges.

The 9" was not a cheap trip but I think I got a decent deal on it. It has a 3.50 with Trac Lock, 31 spline axles, late model GM brakes. I have about 1500 in it including the adjustable wilwood prop valve.
