Get off the pipe man 4runner of your year is heavier. Has a t-case, another axle, axle mounts, driveshaft, hard top, etc., etc.

that is my point the 4runner is heavier, but not by much figuring it has the same running gear and only has a total vehicle weight limit of 400 pounds more than my truck.....

That's just the difference between a 4x4 and a 4x2 nothing more. It only means you have more payload capabilities than a 4Runner.

Bingo! you can hall more than a 4runner, butt a 4runner will be heaver than your truck.

my geass would be close to 1K lbs more than your truck.

Well I have some good news to report. I finally got fed up with my crappy gas milage and went the dealership and ordered a factory O2 sensor. I put it in last week and this past weekend I went on a big road trip. I saw highway mpg numbers of 29.5mpg, 33.3mpg, and about 26mpg(not all highway miles). So if any one is questioning there O2 sensor spend the money on a factor sensor and you will notice results. I did. My highway milage before was anywhere between 21 to 24mpg, so that simple O2 change made major improvements.

1985 X-cab with 32" Swampers, 4.10 gears, brick-like aerodynamics, 22R with 245k miles: 18 mpg average
Same truck with 5.29 gears before going to a larger tire: 17 mpg average

just got 9.6mpg towing a 3500+ lb camper. 50-60mph. Was rather impressed with the ol 22r .

BCD · « **Reply #45 on:** May 05, 2006, 11:29:29 PM »

I get in the low 20's with my '87 'runner 37"s 5.29 and that is using a GPS for milage measurement not the odometer, as someone questioned earlier. Maybe I'll check out one of those fancy O2 sensors though

94SRUNNER · « **Reply #46 on:** May 07, 2006, 07:16:11 PM »

BCD,
If you can do it and you know the O2 sensor is bad, go for it. I double checked my mileage today and I recorded 30mpg. Remember I am running a 2WD with a 22RE.

pyrotec220 · « **Reply #47 on:** Jun 05, 2006, 01:23:14 PM »

how much is that new 02 sensor? i have a 22r

Duffil · « **Reply #48 on:** Jun 05, 2006, 01:25:23 PM »

The truck is now getting about 17 3/4 MPG in town. I haven't checked my freeway/highway yet.
31s and 4.10s.

85 pickup extended cab 4x4 automatic trans stock 4.30 gears pushing 33's. 12 MPG. Ya its shitty I know. You guys thinks gearing would help an automatic if so what gears?
