Sleeper couches? I'm just guessing that's what you meant. I've never come across a 600 pound metal frame in a sleeper couch. Lord knows how many I've carried over the last 18 years of moving furniture 6 days a week.

Now we know who's been spreading the "OZ of gold in a computer" rumor.

Yeah yeah, I get the same stuff, I drive a 79 Chevy and 84 Chevy. And to upgrade would cost at least 10k for a pickup not much better shape than mine just newer. And that to gain what ? Maybe 3 miles to the gallon ? Best advice I got is, if it's a 4wd add lock outs, clean bed out and don't carry round anymore extra weight than nessecary, tools, chains etc. also maintain it well, tune ups, changing oil and tire pressures. Adding side boards to increase cargo area is a must as well, or getting a trailer, which costs fuel mileage wise but increases payload dramatically.Quote:

But to add to what taterjuice was saying, I started using the synthetic motor oil at oil changes and my car consistently gained 1-2 mpg.
Scrapmetalking, I have some questions for you.1) What do you do with the crt tube from your scrapped tv's? 2) What kind of skills do you have to have in order to brake down a tv? 3) why would you not brake down a microwave? If you lived close to me I would trade all my tv's for all your microwaves. One more question, what do you do with curcuit boards from the tv's?

With the road salt up here, the body usually rots out long before the engine dies so a long lived engine isn't that much of an advantage. However, I drive 35,000 - 40,000 km per year - maybe I should go for the synthetic oil for the fuel savings.
Well, I run an older Taurus and it was running around 20 in town and 25-26 on the highway, now the highway is closer to 29-30 now and I'm just not sure in town. Your right tho, you can stretch out the oil changes but the engine turns over cold a lot smoother and faster.Quote:
