    My crappy fuel mileage has a lot to do with my loads and where I run, usually heavy east then light west, back and forth across pa and jersey. My Columbia was averaging 6.5 then I stepped up injector size ( don't know the injector numbers off hand) it dropped 6.3. I know that has a lot to do with my right foot, that truck had a 10spd direct drive with 2:79 rears running about 63mph, this truck 13spd 3:58 running 65mph plus it's a mid roof, I think that aerodynamics hurts me more on the Coronado

    We pulled my old B model and put it back in with a 287C skidsteer. Not sure I would recommend it though.

    Nah didn't make time either. Poor crane seemed to think it was holding all it wanted to.
