i got a 94 bighorn and getting around 25mpg, less if i boot it on the motorway, is this consumption average?
Also my odometer shows 69000, i am the first british owner and its the original speedo with an MPH sticker over the KPH,does this mean the speedo drive has been adjusted to show MPH and the odometer was originally reading in KMH till it was adjusted
Any help would be appreciated so i can set up a proper service schedule

Can't help with your odo, but your MPG seems reasonable. I have a 96 Duty (3.1 D) and I get 20-25 on a normal run (no motorways up here) and 15-20 around town

hi there, nice truck Wink

i also have a 3.1 td bighorn Very Happy

and get 25 mpg around town and on a run, i drive at "full speed ahead" on the m-way so i expect i could improve my distance mpg by just cruising along at 60-70 instead of 80+ Very Happy

if it's the same as my set up then the speedo will now read in mph and the odometer will still read in KM
