5mpg! I'd not have expected that.

Yep, 5 mpg! Keep in mind that's with the V2203 Kubota, so even with the loss it still got a solid 34 mpg average as my DD work commuter rig. And it was 4x4 with no front driveline disconnect, so there might have been a bit of drag. The nice thing about the AW4 is the converter locks in direct as well as od.

I was wondering if you had anything going with the new turbo and engine combo yet?

No progress yet, I've been super busy and my current engine hasn't given it up yet. I did get everything powder coated.

Nice! I look forward to hearing about it when you do swap that combo in. I'm going to try some Cerakote on my new engine. And yes, it will be a "new" engine. I've put Cerakote finishes on firearms for friends, and really like results the durability.
