RE: Dynatrac freespin hubs installed
The ABS sensor and ring on my grand cherokee are exposed and I've never had any problems. The sensor is basically just a magnet anyway that reads whether the ring is turning and should be able to read through mud and snow.
Good to know the kit worked out nicely. I'd sure like to do one if I hit the lottery!

I track it occassionally hand calc it but not every tank. I think I'm doing 18.5 mpg just normal driving with the overdrive and xzt minus the freespins. Really though it's pointless for me to do any hand calcs until I have the dealer recal the odometer for the 285 tires. I don't have a baseline whatsoever on mpg even from back when the stock tires were on there. Some more info on my truck. I'm about to hit 8000 miles and I've never towed anything although I did drive around with 2000 pounds in the bed for a few weeks. So my truck isn't even broken in yet.
With my mods the fact that I don't really know anything about my mpg's is kinda sad and I didn't realize how sad it was til now.
I think I'm gonna make a special trip to the dealer Friday morning to get that taken care of once and for all. [8D]

well as long as ur numbers beforedon't take into account the bigger tiresand then the ones you do right now witht he freespin dno't compensate for the tires then it's all relative if you know what I mean. the actual mpg number might not be correct but the difference of whether it improved or not will.

RE: Dynatrac freespin hubs installed
it's not hard to compensate for the tires...all you need to do is find out how far off the odometer is over a long stretch of road. I did this using mile markers on the hiway over a 50 mile stretch once when I had my 2000 ram with 285's... turned out I was 8.7% off. I just mulitplied the mileage on the odometer by 1.087 and used that has my true mileage.
