Then we can agree to disagree, but don't talk to me like I'm an idiot, and don't tell others not to listen to me.

And i apologize for that but i have one question for you. Do you have gears?

Lucidus

Yes I do. My fox is running 3:73s. My 96 has 4.10s.

foxes have a different OD ratio, i know the 99-04s have an OD ratio of .62 and im not sure on the earlier ones, and its really funny, i have stock gears V-6 and nanaki gets better milage then me with a blown GT and 3.73s which pist him off cause people recomended them and he hates them and 03yellowpony gets about 3 mpg better then me WITH 4.10s.

4.10s or nothing at all, the lowest i would go for an SN-95 is 3.90.

and also, without going and searching for the answer what does you 96 run for rpms at 70 mph?

in response to the 70 mph Q, I don't know as of yet. I don't have insurance.

And sorry bout the posting of the gears Q once again. Mods please close this thread?

the 70 mph question wasnt tward you it was tward "the guy with a 96 and 4.10s"

as for gears get 4.10s no matter what anyone else says, they are not that bad and everything is just a myth

rbstang

I totally agree

mustangman02232

well i used to be like that two cause my uncles 70 maro had 3.90s and he liked them, but his milage was crap and had no top end, you need to have gears done in a modern vehicle cause they have different OD ratios, i drove my friends GT on the highway, which we buried the needle, something we could not do with stock gears cause OD was a dog, we got better milage then my V-6, and when we got to the race we were going to the first gear wasnt horrible but wasnt great either.

this should be put on myth busters

mustangman02232

why its no myth its a fact, gears do not decrease your milage as bad as everyone says they do.
