Road Trip to 2005 Ranchero Round-Up The first real road trip since the AOD conversion... I couldn't be happier!!!
Last year took over 3/4 of a tank to go each way... This year less than 1/2 a tank. I need to calibrate the speedometer so it gives an accurate reading, both speed and odometer,
before I can really compute milage accurately.
I can tell the time and expense of the conversion were well worth it!
