I have a new to me 4x4 pickup with 22re and 5spd. The truck has 266,000 miles. I got the truck with 264,000 miles. Supposedly the engine was swapped and the current engine had a 130,000 miles when installed. So far I put in a timing set, rear main seal and exhaust donut gaskets. One of the donuts is still leaking and I have a tick. I havent had time to fix it.
I drive the truck 150 miles a day on the interstate. My gas mileage is 12.5-13.5mpg. I was expecting 18-20 mpg.The truck has 235/85/r16 (31.7") load range E mastercraft mud tires. Im wondering if this is the culprit. Also it has a homemade cab visor I can feel catching wind. Im unsure of the gear ratio. She seems to have a lack of power . I really have to hammer her to hit 75mph on the interstate. Any thoughts or input? Pic below .. I did not paint the skull on the hood and its gonna disappear one of these days..
