I just ordered one last night, depending on what kind of shape the transmission is in (assuming I don't need a new one of those too) I'll be able to hook you up next week.

:O Cool lol thanks you don't know how much this helps.
How's the hoe doing on MPGS?
If i were to have 3.73 gears it would be a big difference right?
What's your idle at 45-50mph

It does pretty good on the high way when i lock up the torque converter clutch. But the city kinda sucks. Id say it gets 12 city 19 highway.
Gearing makes a big difference along with weight. I have 3.42s and weigh 5400+-lbs so mine acts a bit loose. Cruise rpm at those speeds are 1800+-rpm with the tcc locked
