I updated the spider when I rebuilt it. Its been a little while on plugs/wires so I may do them soon Ferm, thanks.


I drive like a grandpaw, my wife makes fun of me for it.

If you are interested. I've got an external injector mpi set up for sale. You'll need a wiring adaptor and some one to put a tune on it to take advantage of the setup

If I had known you had one of those, I would have made a detour on our trip to Jersey this summer.

saw one of those trucks the other day, guy said he paid $48,900 for it. I just bought a 1997 F350 7.3/5 speed crew cab dually for $4000 with 175,000 on it. I figure i could have 12 of my trucks for what that new dodge cost. Kinda puts it in perspective

Ferm, I've actually got three of those set ups, two with no throttle body, one with a mercruiser throttle body. If you need one, let me know

I don't need one, but could always use one. I still know a few people with the old school VORTEC's, and they are fed up with the spider injection.

2000 Suburban (1500 4WD) averages 15-16 mpg, no matter how I drive it, except when pulling a heavy trailer or boat it drops a few. Stock size tires, though. It has 267,000 miles on it and it's still going strong.

Have you recalibrated your mpg taking into account the increase in distance traveled per revolution of your tire? You know how the speedo is affected, registering slower than your actual speed, the odometer is similarly affected.
