I was going to buy one of those when they were new. I could afford the payments on the truck, but when I checked on the insurance I couldn't afford that.

I bought one of those someone had traded in about 12 years ago. Had 24,000 miles at the time. It was a 90 with the old MarkIV TH400. Loved that truck, hated the MPG. The one in this ad looks beat.

I bought one when they first came out. What a slug ! Put a Whipplecharger on it to make it go how it should have gone in the first place.

I got 10 mpg. I drove it to Philly once and averaged 11-12.
I had considered just putting flat top pistons in it to get it over 8:1 compression. 7.9:1 stock, I think. It was sort of punchy off the line but I wasn't fooled into believing I could pass anyone on the highway with it. Towed ok though. I sold it when I bought an SRT/10.

----My 93 suburban is basicly the same set-up as one of these SS 1/2 tons but with a programed 4L80 trans. I yanked the boat anchor and built a 510cu. 570hp. 650lbft. pill with fast injection, GM alu. heads, etc. After some serious tuning it gets 17/18mpg on the road and can pull around 13/14 with an open loaded trailer. Of course, there are diesels out there that will do better, but I dont use it enough for that to matter as I like the thing to much! Kind of fun picking off the occasional 5.0 Muskrat,,,uh, Mustang. Oh,,,did I mention that its Barnharts old tow vehicle?.......Bill S
