Well my VW sold and it was time to deliver it to the Jacksonville port. Loaded it up on my homemade trailer and off we went. Truck pulled like a dream and still got 22 mpg. Oh I did kick it into high gear :P I had to keep up with traffic. No problems...

Thanks, believe it or not, the truck gets real good mpg, yeah it's a 5 speed with F/I. I was sold on them back when I had my 90', it too was F/I. Easy to work on and tuff.

Glad to see someone towing with the Max. I have a '94 with the same setup (5spd EFI) and plan to build Max to tow my roughly 2800lb Laser RS-T to and from the track. Good on you!

oh yeah i believe it..i kinda regret not going the FI route when I rebuilt my motor top to bottom. i kept it oem carb'd. but then again i really didnt have much of a choice if i wanted to keep it "legal". lol its the one and only truck i've ever had :grin: beside my Kenworth T600

No, it's a '90 FWD 4G63T. But you're right, I'm siked that I'll have Diamond's pulling Diamonds. #FamilyAffair. When I'm done, I'll be able to pull the Laser off the trailer and race it, or leave the Laser on the trailer and race the truck! I can ask other drivers, "which one do you want to lose to today?"
