Well, picked up the truck from the dealer and the service guy said there is a new motor flash on its way for the trucks and hes thinking it is for MPG for the guys with autos.

Just thought you guys should know...theres still a chance some of us will get a mpg gain.

 

thats awesome news! Whos going to be the test dummy??

 

I know a lot of you guys will call BS but 2 weeks ago with just under 5000 miles I had a cel come on. Took it to my dealer and they did 2 tsb's.
18-003-06
18-005-06
I then went on a 400 mile road trip empty driving mostly 60-65. I was lucky to get 17 mpg before flash. After flash and the road trip I filled up and hand calculated I got 22.8 mpg's unfreakenbelievable!!! I am going to tow 5000 lb boat this weekend to see what that is like.

 

thats awesome...i hope us auto guys have that good of luck.

 

ACROJET:

Well i guess i am not the only one on DTR thats getting that kind of milage then. I got 22.5 handcalculated and i don't have any of those TSB's its plain stock. I was doing 65 mph and using Howes.

 

Shoot..I will, I got nothing to lose, except 13mpg

 

hah yea me too. I got 13.68 last tank HC but it was stricktly around town in extreme stop and go driving with a very very light foot....Jason

 

hey arcojet, what were the tsb's for? can't find them on the tsb index.

 

Sorry, all I know is I had the hard start, extended crank time problem and then the check engine light came on so I took it to the dealer and they said they did those 2 updates and that I would be getting better milage also. I didn't get any technical info. The flashes only fixed the hard start problem for about a week, its back???
