Im pretty sure the 5.0 has slightly different tranny gears so the "effect" of the steeper gear is prolly different. I think most guys with auto go with 4.30's usually right?

Moose,

If you drive 500-600 miles per week you worry a little about gas mileage. When gas hit $4.25 per gallon it severely impacted my family's budget.

Eagle

P.S. I was surprised when I read a threat about how little some owners drive their cars.

That is a long drive on a weekend. I'm surprised you got a pass to go that far. (Of course I've been out of the service for many years.)

By the way... Thank you for your service.

I've been to Lemoore several times. My wife is from Visalia. I've been stationed at both Castle AFB (now closed) and Vandenberg.
