hey bigdaddyracing start a new thread to get more views and responses. Tell Sara that Tara says hey.

 

My kitty ran away.

 

I've been told adding ANY heavy oil (2-cycle, filtered used motor oil, etc.)to the fuel of a HPCR diesel engine is a very bad idea. The stuff just wasn't designed to be squished at 24,000+ psi and can cause very rapid injector erosion and may harm the CP3. I don't want you thinking you've got a newbie telling ya what you should/shouldn't do with your truck, just thought you might want to know. Them sticks are mighty expensive!

 

so tell me why, bringing my tires up to proper psi has actually hurt my mileage?! its a no win situation with this thing.

 

Very strange. My mileage went from 16-17 average to 13. Tried two tankfulls of fuel no difference. New fleetguard air filter, stock tires properly inflated. ULSD,but been running it for over a year since that's all that's available here. Not throwing any codes. It has been in the 90's here. I'm even running the speed limit!

 

Could be the heat. All I can say is that my transmission has some new parts and I'm expecting to see good things in the MPG dept. I am driving with a MUCH lighter foot and actually getting better acceleration. My stock 48re was just KILLING my mileage.

 

Man what a screwup! My trip computer was on metric. I switched it back and mileage was 17.5 mpg-normal. My right arm is in a cast and I guess I accidentally hit the wrong button.

 

Good for you admitting that! I'd rather have that happen and feel dumb for a minute than have a real issue with the truck.

 

Well, just a little report back here. My transmission was DEFINITELY a large factor in my poor mpg. I have not driven it enough yet to get any concrete numbers, but I can already tell that my mileage has greatly improved, possibly in the 1-2 mpg range.
