    I would guess it's a combo of the crew cab, 4.10s and stall. But you are right, that is closer to the mileage I get.
    Gone, but not forgotten!

    Don't forget to put hardened 7.400" pushrods in the valvetrain. A lightly more agressive cam is going to bend the stock pushrods eventually.

    stayed last night and pulled heads and swapped springs. this is about the 3rd set of 26918's ive bought over the years. noticed immediatly these had a smoother finish to them. also had a tech note in the box. says they have been upgraded to handle 625 lift and are peened now. great, wasnt expecting it but great. pulled a couple of valves out to see how bad a seat ridge they had, suprisingly smooth, decided not to do any bowl work and just reassymble as is. go the 7955 pushrods, cam should be here today so ill get the long block done after work.

    Oh damn...why did you pull the heads to do the springs? Oh wait--you wanted to inspect everything...Gotchya. And you plan on taking the heads off again anytime soon? If so, then I would highly suggest you throw some ARP head studs in there. They are not TTY bolts like the stock head bolts are.
