What happened to mini-trucks and 50mpg with 4cyl Dzl ?
Bring it Back ! They were ahead of their most needed time maybe ? Or just mini-trucks with ANY type of power source would be nice to see again. My 81 VW Truck with 1.6 TboDzl has an extra-large-oversize fiberglass camper shell about 300 pounds on back. With the extra weight and wind drag, plus 400 pounds of combined cargo and myself - it averaged 42mpg going through all the up and down mountain ranges between NC and Markham Ontario Canada. Threw on another 1000-1200 pounds in Markham, and still averaged 42mpg coming back home also. Before i get hammered with BS complaints - it has HD lifted front struts, cargo spring assist rear shocks, extra leaf springs, and a super heavy duty plastic ribbed bed liner insert i cut to fit from a late model Dodge. Truck still far exceeds all practical expectations. Also has a custom built HD rear bumper for trailer towing. damd Gold Mine of a truck

Don't worry about the DEF. It is not a big deal. I have been driving a truck that requires it for 3 years now and the ratio is something like 2% DEF to the amount of fuel burned. A tank lasts a long time. I used to keep it topped off but now I just fill the tank when the DIC warning indicates 1000 miles left. I think its a precise mix of water and urea.(ammonia)

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
