My numbers are pretty inline from others ive spoken with. Mine are in a 1078. I was getting 5-6mpg prior.
The old gears will kill these trucks at hwy speeds. Here is a photo of my gps showing 74 vs the tach. Ive hit 76mph but didnt get a photo with the tach.
I think you may be worried they dont have power for gears and tires.
the fact is, These motors feel gutless because they are wrapped wayyyy out of their powerband with too high a gear for hwy. my truck feels at 65mph, how it did at 45mph before. The shift points have smoothed out considerably...
My LMTV tops out at 76mph with gears, compared to 59mph without. I am going to put 1400s on in the next few months as in addition to the gears. should make for a nice cruising rpm!
I dont know what that first meritor number is.
im attaching a photo of the id tag from the mrap third member.

If one tire is one the ground, it will not move. Therefore no power can be transferred thru that side of the axle. Jacking up one tire will render the results needed.

pm if interested!
