What’s bad is mine will register ~25 cruising down the highway and average out at 16 after the motor. But hand figuring it only comes out to 8-10 at the most lol
I think the computer is messed up from from the bigger injectors and tunes
Sheesh. If sub 2 digits is what I have to look forward to modded, then I need to look into a different daily or go diesel. {{****, as is I ought to get something more fuel efficient and sportier, but I like the truck and trucks in general too much...}}
Cool thing about diesels is that they seem so simple to me. 1 type of fuel. No 87, 89, 91, 93, race gas, e85, e90 BS, just diesel. Want more power? Add more air and fuel. If your internals and cooling can take it, you're good. No ignition timing, no valve float BS or under camming it until you get into cams and such because it's already turbo'd.
They just seem great. More expensive to fix when broken, heavy, and can run away on you, but with the right safeguards, they seem fantastic.
I'd love to drop a lower displacement, lighter weight turbo diesel in my truck and have it rip balls and get 14mpg city 22 highway. Do an AWD swap, too. I could live with that very well.
Second car could be an Audi whatever TDI sedan or something. Equally fast and brutal, with double the MPG, haha.
