So I’ve not been in huge rushes the past couple tanks of fuel... I’ve been running 67mph area instead of 70-72mph. Apparently this truck doesn’t like it... my fuel mileage has went down both tanks. Only thing I’m not certain about is there has been some idling on both of those tanks. Like minimum 4 hours up to probably 8.

Ultimately I’m not even sure if 65-67 puts me in the right rpm range for any better mileage anyhow.

what rpm?

add the idle time back into the gallons, is it still lower?

probably need some airtabs and microblue . Maybe let bruace mallison work his magic on it

What are you running for manifold pressure just cruising at those speeds? Both at 65-67 and 70-72?
 
65-67mph in 18th is 1350~rpm 15lbs give or take.
70-72 is 1400-1450rpm with about the same forced air pressure.

Mind you, this trailer is heavy, 12ft spread, and is 53ft of sail.

I can assure you I couldn’t care any less about my BSFC’s and Paccar bought Pete so the homos would stay out of the KW’s.

Where your mistaken. They bought pete because the undesireables took to kw soo much. Just think though, at least you can get your parts at wal-mart

I'd say at this point the turbo being too small is still hurting your mileage

I’m also agree... it’s in the works but he’s being tight.
I think on top of being too small, and also having to run with the waste gate blocked off is killing me.

Let’s not be retarded... everyone knows those are junk. Why else would we be pulling them off those engines?
