My truck runs about 60 at 2,000 IF you can get to go into od, -- I like the gearing in it, ---fast yet power in lower gears.
Still cant figure how a 5 speed can shift 6 times but that is what it always did when it worked. --- I knew it was junk at that point, course ANY automatic transmission is junk in my book!
The Explorer dont shift half the time either! Ford never could make an automatic that ever worked! --had 5 trucks/vans in the past and NONE of them ever worked!
Anyway the diesel used to get 16 mpg when i first got it and would run interstates if needed, --now probably getting 4 to 6 mpg. and restricted to back roads and 35 to 45 mph.
