jeebus dodge_dude94.

do you fill that thing up daily or what?!

 

Driving 100 mi at 11 mpg uses 8 gallons which is a little more than 1/4 tank.

We try to keep all our vehicles above 3/4.

So when I drive it 200 mi in a week, yes, I fill it up daily. lol


And it's dodge (NO UNDERSCORE) dude94

 

okay dodge (NO UNDERSCORE) dude94

you know filling at 3/4 tank doesn't make the fill up any cheaper right?

I wait till the bastard puts the fuel empty light on, then I still drive it another day before filling up

 

Harsh language and ignorance. They think there 4.8l motors stock make 400hp -_-

 

We like to make sure that we can drive it a while should an emergency arise.

Think about that do-do.
Damn douchbags. Any one of our trucks could prolly smoke their asses. I swear, drivers of lifted Chebies have to be the most arrogant SOBs that ever existed.


Put $30 in it. Came out to 13 mpg corrected. W00t.

 

I used it to go pick up lumber for one of my jobs.... Tried the tow mirror thing... Still not sure what all the big hype is... maybe it is cause I didnt have my pants sagged down around my knees and my hat was on forward unlike all the little kids around here who do it.. Its been a while since I stirred up some trouble lol... Heres the picture for all you pic ******....

 

meh, got plenty of other vehicles around here If I need to go somewhere long haul...plus there is a fuel station less than 1/2 mile away...I'm not worried about it

 

^^ Yup, just easier to push the ole' beast to the station when you're out of fuel

 

So agreed, its just irritating!

Nice tow mirrors dylter, i think you should swap them onto your second gen

 

anyway..back on topic:

Bought a smarty programmer off a cumminsforum member yesterday so I can STACK STACK STACK! lol

really though I got it because I have to pass emissions before next month and using a smarty is a cheater way of getting a diesel with large injectors through emissions without having to remove the injectors and put the stock ones back in

PL0 on the smarty = -50% power. as in 50% less power than stock tuning basically puts the truck into limp mode without the engine codes or rpm limitations...

so that oughta get me through emissions. it will also enable the 3-cyl high idle mode which is there from cummins by default, but factory disabled by dodge.

likely because someone who didn't know about it would freak the F out when they start their truck in super cold weather and after a couple minutes it sounds like it is misfiring like crazy and throwing a rod...

when temp is below 0 the truck will idle up to 1200rpm for 2 minutes, then it will shut down 3 cylinders to cause decent engine load which brings idle EGT's up from 280-300* up to 650-700* makes the engine warm up in 1/2 the time.

just gotta do the resister toggle switch mod to my IAT sensor so I can activate 3-cylinder high idle on demand (fools the computer into thinking its arctic temps outside so 3-cyl mode will kick on)
