I know the newer 6L with the 6spd are supposed to be worlds better than what I have.
MPG.. Well, it's a fullsize truck.
Because it was running high rpms thing sounded like it was going to blow, so you want a gasser driving down the hwy at 4500 to 5000 rpm, you will be lucky to get 200 k's to a tank...At 105 km on flat should not be that high of rpms..
