Talking Underdrive Pulley/update w/latest mpg

Well, I am still convinced that purchasing the underdrive pulley was a good move. The truck drives great on the interstate. My latest gas mileage was 15.89. Not much off from previous. Now, this tank was needing to be filled when I put the new pulley on. This next tank will be strictly with the new part. I am going to baby it to see how much I can get out of it. I have been having a little fun with the extra umph, but I will try hard to back off. Have a great rest of your weekend!

So far so good. I have not noticed any problems. Even driving at night I do not see any fluctuations in the lights at all. This is even with the stereo up, a/c going, and e-fan spinning away.

so...remember that jet chip i told u about? I LOST IT.

it's no where to be found...and i'm pissed about it. full intake is still on the way (to replace my cai that only connects to the resonator...can't wait to get that resonator out of the way...

so yea, i'm about to order another jet chip...lol...if other one turns up, i'll be selling in on here for cheap...probably paired with my old cold air intake.


edit) and so you don't think i'm bullsh!tting about the "lost" jet chip, my ebay name is playzwithtrucks =)

I hate when I lose something like that. It probably will show up when you least expect it. It will show up when the second one comes in the mail.

the pully that actually turns the belt that powers all the other accessories. The smaller the pulley the slower your accessories turn :. there is less load on the engine.
