    Lightest 16" wheels for my second gen?

    This has OBDII. I thought OBDII started on all 1996's.

    Lightest 16" wheels for my second gen?

    I'm leaving the engine/drivetrain alone until I get all the areo stuff done and get a solid baseline. I'd like to mess with megasquirt at some point and focus solely on tuning for economy. I will not be using SCT.

    Lightest 16" wheels for my second gen?

    I want to go with a kill switch on the shifter, rather than using a key in case I accidentally lock the steering column somehow. That would suck.

    Lightest 16" wheels for my second gen?

    Thanks! I am going to look in to lowering it. I am also looking in to a bigger front air dam, that hangs lower. I know 3rd gen diesel guys add a 2nd gen front air dam to the bottom of the 3rd gen stock one.

    Lightest 16" wheels for my second gen?

    Lightest 16" wheels for my second gen?

    On the 15th I filled up getting back from a trip. On the 18th I filled up before leaving for a trip, those 80 miles were in Cincinnati. A lot of short trips where the engine didn't get fully warm. Heavy/aggressive acceleration up hills and in traffic. Bunch of stop and go. Then the 22.8 was...

    Lightest 16" wheels for my second gen?

    It's more about the challenge than anything. I don't want a car. I've knocked down 22.8 with my simple modifications and great weather conditions. Usually get 21's. I own a 3rd gen cummins. Don't want to rack up the miles on it and it has gotten a best of 17's. That's hand calculated, not the...

    Lightest 16" wheels for my second gen?

    Does anyone have any links to what the stock wheels weigh? And what the steel spare weighs? Any light weight aftermarket rims that are 16x7? Reason I ask is I'm trying to get the best possible MPG's as I drive a lot. Truck is a 1996 RCSB 318/NV3500 2WD. Stock. So far I've added a grill...
