Question On TB install

R/TDan · Jan 20, 2013

I installed the 87mm TB and catch can this weekend. I disconnected the battery during the install. I saw about a 2MPG drop on my normal 2- week 300 mile interstate trip.

18 MPG is what I saw when I first bought the truck and each trip It got better. Last trip was 20.5 MPG and was holding there for the last 3 trips.

I did not buy the TB for MPG and I am happy with the extra kick in the pants but was just wondering what to expect.

maybe truck needs time to relearn driving hablits and changes made? Not sure, heard good things about the TB's tho...

Like mentioned, your computer is probably trying to re adjust now after having reset the computer. Did you ever get a hand calculated mileage readong before installing the TB? The overhead is very easy to throw off after installing new mods. I would run a few tanks through it to see if it changes any...and try not to play with the added power too much...haha

Also, we sell the TB's as a performance upgrade. Most guys have claimed to gain mileage, but we dont like to sell it on that part. These parts are for better performance, and any increase in mileage is just an added bonus.

Installed my TB this past weekend. Still playing with the power but by the obdII I'm getting some mileage gain.
