[QUOTE="cyberslider, post: 1648807, member: 13628"] I have a '99 extended cab, 4x4. long bed, manual transmission. As Perplexed mentioned, 13 to 14 mpg. That maybe with the wind and downhill. The spark plugs can be a problem. Only a few aluminum threads to screw a steel spark plug into. I bought my truck used and the previous owner (unbeknownst to me) had already had a few of the spark plugs "blow out" and had steel inserts installed to repair the holes in the head. Well, at least one of the repairs wasn't done correctly and the steel insert blew out. So a standard repair could not be performed. Had to pull the cylinder head and have it welded. Nasty and expensive job. Not sure how common a problem that is. That's just my experience. Have the front end checked out - replacing the ball joints is quite a job and is very expensive if you have a shop do it. [/QUOTE]
