trans cooler sold
ooo yeah.. I remeber that talk we had before.... Hows the new truck anyway?? getting 18mpg??...
Got almost 20 with the stock tires, now Im down to 17 with the 35s on the highway running 75ish.
I think its crazy with all the Crazy grunt power of HD truck that they can lose 2-3mpg JUST installing wheels and tires... I have tons of customers with Ford 6.0L trucks that lose as much as 5mpg putting 18" wheels on there trucks
I was getting like 19.3ish and now Im getting 17.4/.5ish, its kinda hard to tell the exact amount because the weather was different on both trips, I was driving a little different too, and I had just loaded a different tune. Who knows, power wise there isnt much difference though, Im still happy with the mileage if I slowed it down to 65-70 I could get HIGH teens running 35s so thats not bad for a 7000# truck IMO.
pretty nice but it comes at a high price at the pump with diesel fuel +$.60 per gallon :eek:
Eh, I like having a much more utilitarian truck and its not my DD so it doesnt hurt the pocket book much since the company truck comes with paid gas :) Paid 3.48 when I filled up today vs. 3.06 for regular ;)
17+ is Kick ass... Hell anything over 15 is good for such a big rig i agree... I know a ton of ford 7.3 that beg for 14 with a tail wind...
The .61 overdrive ratio is what I contribute to the good mileage.
