RE: hi from the road.
Is it possible your speedo / mileage is off due to bad calibration of your tires?

RE: hi from the road.
I have been going off my GPS, which is telling me my odometer is only off by a couple miles. I dont know how many times my truck has gone into regen, i am going to assume none since my steady speed at the rpm keeps my engine hot enough right? i am not doing 72 at 1800, according to my gps. firemedic is running the same lift and tires I am and he is seeing almost double my mileage.
