History
Bought on 2/9/2011 in Blackshear, GA 193,530 miles. #4 cylinder 45 PSI compression (stuck rings). PCV dumps all blowby into rear of intake plenum, flooding #4 cyl. No other faults with engine or drive train. Curing it with AutoRX engine cleaner additive. Current mileage - 225024 (7/8/14). I've only driven it 31,500 miles since purchase. No rust! Body is in real good shape. Gas mileage is now 21.5 MPG short trip. from a high of 17 MPG highway driving before tuning for mileage. Will be improving the gas mileage after adding a pyrometer to monitor exhaust temp.
