Ok, I've had my new truck for about 1 week and the mileage SUCKS.:CRY:
I am getting between 10-12 mpg mixed driving. My 2002 I traded in got 16 on the same exact routes.
So I have been looking at the things I can do to help mileage. Here is a list with pricing.
DPF delete - 3-4 mpg, $842
EGR delete - 1 mpg?, free?
Water injection - 1-3 mpg, $949
MP8 - 1-2 mpg, $385
Edge attitude - 1-2 mpg, $639
Goerend torque converter 3-4 mpg, $1000?
Any other thing I missed. Or if you have a different opinion of the improvement I stated or the cost, let me know.
These all seem like reasonable things to do, and should pay for themselves in less than 6 months.
If I do all the above what kind of mileage can I expect? I know you can't add up the savings or I would have to pull over every day and drain my tank.:lol3:
I really love my new truck compared to the 2002 I had but I feel terrible having a inefficient fuel hog. I know this engine can be made way more economical than it is stock.
