i am thinking about doing that but i think im only a 2k on synthetic oil....... is it still 5000 running synthetic or you think i should go more miles to make sure???

 

I would be very happy with 17-18mpg.I know it takes some time to break in, I guess it will only get better. I am serously considering a Gear vendor over drive when my truck is out of warranty.

 

yeah Nick I'd wait till about 5k.... but on the otherhand... if you do have a leaky injector, it might be better to test now. the test is only about $25 bux or so, maybe you should do it now.

 

So, an open intake doesn't help with mileage??

 

depends... if you have an open exhaust meaning straight thru muffler & no cat nope, you'll lose mileage. add some backpressure by installing the 4040 aero and you'll be ok. there are alot of things that contribute to your mileage but in general, open exhast & open intake = drop in mileage with part throttle driving but a boost in top end performance.

edit: forgot to add that the way the motor runs is night & day compared to the stock airbox. wouldnt trade mine for anything... well almost.... I'd like to do a custom intake setup.

 

i know there was a thread a while ago about oil analysis but i cant seem to find it....... whats the website or address to send oil to??? i might wait another thousand miles and give it a better chance to wear more so that way i can get a better analysis of everything rather than sending them fresh oil...

 

this one?

thats the site, thanks steve!!!!!

question: "Our standard analysis costs $22.50.".... that includes fuel content right? and if so fuel content would be the clearest indicator of bad injector(s) right?

 

yup, call them to be sure. I've been getting mine done at AAA for $25 bux... they send it out to a shop in the bay area. I forget their name...

 

thanks steve! im gonna look into that in the near future and see, because i would rather fix a problem and be happy with mileage b4 i spend money on any other mods.... plus if it is injectors it would give me an excuse to go in there and get better ones ill keep y'all posted for those who have bad mileage also
