How many litres per 100k are you using? When was it last serviced?

How many litres per 100k are you using? When was it last serviced?

I'm using around 25 / 100

[timbar]

Service every 5000kms

How's the power feel?? Tyre size? What conditions??

[damien robinson]

I am probly using about 40 l per 100 it has only been the last month it has been bad I got 33s on it and I think not due for a service should I do plugs and if so wat plugs

I get around 24l per 100.

I would be inclined to suspect your convertor.

other possibility's - one of your breaks is partially on and causing drag - simple to check - go for a drive and see if any of the rims are getting very hot.

Are you running a extendered rotar, and electronic ignition (carby truck)

What is it like on petrol?

Is yours a carby of efi.

[damien robinson]

It is a carby not to sure if it has extended rotor button how do I tell and wat plugs should I be running

[damien robinson]

I do have electronic ignition

The extended rotar button will help it run smother - practically at idle and use a little bit less fuel.

To tell if you have a extended button - bull the disy cap off and have a look at the rotar - does it look like its had a extender piece of metal added ( around 3mm extension on the tip)

I don't think plugs will make a big difference, but you could have one fouled - woth pulling and swapping.

Does the truck idle properly and go ok

I still would be inclined to think its the convertor.
