Pike, what highway mpg and cruising speed do you get with 33" tires, 4.56 gears and the AX15 5 speed?

Very cool, thanks for the details!

Hello Comanche Club! I’m the proud new owner of Dadinator’s 90’ Pioneer. His son was a highschool classmate of mine and when it came time to sell, I was fortunate to be able to purchase it : ) A big thanks to the original owner and his family! Here’s an update: Since, purchasing the truck, I ditched the pressure bottle and switched to an open cooling system. It got a new water pump, thermostat, and incidentally a new oil pump in the process. I also installed a pcv valve and a larger hose because the old, small hose was clogged and the engine was spitting oil on the air filter. It’s running great as a weekend warrior for hunting, fishing, camping, and projects. Next steps: 1- clean off the light rust on the undercarriage and then paint it or otherwise preserve it 2- Add Eaton TrueTrac LSDs to the Dana 44 and Dana 30 axles (they have 3.55 gear ratios I think) 3- Maybe: upgrade to a 4.5” lift and 33” tires (but I don’t want to lose road handling ability too much, thoughts?) I’m open to suggestions, advice, and I’ll definitely buy the right locker or lsd if someone has it available. send texts to 270 945 7464 if you have something for sale please
