Sounds grouse for that money buddy, just run in !!!!
Mine is a 3.5 manual, have been working on the inlet side, modified airbox - unifilter, and fitted iridium plugs, usuall economy is 11-14 litres per 100 depending on use. did a trip to qld pre mods and doing 120kph in 35degree plus temps with the a/c on it returned constant 12L/100.
At
easter we did a trip into the high country fully loaded, lots of low range work and the high speed bitchy there as
well, it returned 12.6 L/100. I have yet to work on the exhaust - so it will get better, but as it is it goes like a cut cat, 2wd on the gravel roads is an absolute blast !!
PS am running synthetic oil in the engine , and have some fully synthetic to go in the gearbox/trans case, and diffs as
well, so that will also help.
Running 38 psi on road.
see ya
