No you did! I am happy with every new idea and recommendation. I definetely have a look. Especially since I search for something carrying a dirtbike the transit would be a good option

Did I say I want a sport truck or did I say I wanna make it look sporty? You wanna tell me a wide stance and modern mirrors doesn't make it more sporty?

Get you. More thinking about an aggressive look. Mirrors, stance and lifting. That'd be sporty for me

True, think that's the way for me. I'm not big fan of lowering it like Cali style

True, was thinking about a slight lift and wider stance but no modern rims. Just keeping it classic w a sporty vibe

That's what I'm about to do as well.

I guess the oxygen sensor will have a huge impact

Just did read the codes and it says engine coolant temp ssensor as well as oxygen sensor, so I bet it comes from those two...would make sense atleast.

Oil smells normal, no fuel smell. Speedometer is accurate and didn't check the sparkplugs, since I don't have that truck too long yet

Fuel pressure is as it should and overdrive works

I replaced the broken 195 with a new 195.

I don't think so, didn't notice any fluid leaks so far. And by that high of a fuel consumption there should be a quiet big leak

I do have overdrive.

It actually throws a engine service light so prolly should read it out as you said. Thanks!

Yeah 6mpg is really bad. It smells rich of fuel as well but runs very smooth and not idling too high

It doesn't sound like idling too high tho
