anyone check out hho generator plans? not sure if the clams they make are true on the milage gain. i guess for the 100.00 or so dollars to build a generator it would not be a total waste of money if it did'nt work

back when gas was priced high a few years ago there were tons on people selling these, they dont really work...they use as much energy from the alternator to produces energy and yo have to constantly mess with them to keep them working... theoretically you could probably get something to work somwhat on a bench but not in a car with different temps and motion and such.. and even then without breaking the rules of science which so so say it uses more energy to make less hydrogen with electrolosis its a moot point.

Your never going to get great gas mileage its a truck and trucks are made for work.None of my trucks got any better than 12mpg.if your worried about the gas
mileage maybego to a smaller truck or a small car those are good on gas.

i got a download on the mods that have to be done. the one thing they stat is a modulater that has to tie into the o2. the info pack says this leans out the engine and the hydrogen balance out the mixture. it all sound good but like 2000 ram stated buy a small car,hondas are good on gas trucks are for work.

My 94 Plymouth Acclaim gets 30 mpg-and I'm in the all-original 200k club. So hondas and toyotas can go straight to hel-well you know.

2.2 and 2.5 had a problem with the wrist pin clearance and they would have a knocking noise. i guess the dodge spirits were only in canada.
