i recently got myself a 2001 GMC jimmy 4.3L.
i bought the truck cheep because it had a dead skip only over 2k RPM's the owner before me was my boss so i know what was done to it, new poppet's, lifters, MAF, MAP sensors ect..
he cleaned out the cat's as well because of a p0101 for MAF performance, so i buy this truck i do diagnoises(working for GM i got the dealer tools) i checked everything thinking that the exhaust was NOT plugged.
Well i got pissed off because i was going off what he diagnoised and i started from scratch and found out the drivers side bank had 5 psi back pressure at 2k rpm's at the HO2S sensor 1 location but zero PSI on bank 2 and nothing behind the cat's, so being a redneck i go get ye old cutty cutty and wow was i ever suprised when i found the pipe had internaly collapsed.
so i put a new ypipe and convertor's on it, ye old girl is running great!
but i did reset my fuel trim, nd well i got 275 km's from a full tank of fuel.
my question is what everyone else is getting roughly doesnt have to be exact per tank or MPG, i get better fuel eco in my 2006 half ton with an LS1 in it which i was going to turn into a wood's toy, but if this jimmy is that hard on fuel she's getting a Solid thrown under it!
Please let me know guys
Thank you very much!
