as normal as you are gonna get with 33's and stock gears
 






i was thinking about adding a intake, thorrtle body, and a chip, will this help my gas mileage, i want to get about 14-16mpg, how will i get that?
 






new gears (4:10s) and those mods
 






how much does it cost to put in 4.10s or should i go to 4.56
 






For the gears and installs it should run around $800
 






right now im running 33's on 3.73(stock gears) and im getting 10mpg-12mpg

soon upgrading to 35's and 4.56 gears what kind of mpg will i get then?
 






Normal mpg for 1st gens stock is about 13-14, so I imagine you wouldn't get much more than that with 35's and proper gearing.
