Do you have a dump switch or hot line switch in the truck? Wired to center pin on 7 pin? I use mine for gravel center dump and stuff. Might be through that.

What are you doing to gain a full 1mpg over the other drivers?
I'm barely getting that in the '15 KW I'm driving with this abortion of a PACCAR motor.

It's all in how you drive them. I can get not outta this one. Easy foot and watching your cruising speeds.

I never really noticed much mpg difference from a mech to a stock electronic, my wintertime stuff is always around 5. This 2ws with the hillbilly tune up does 5.4 or so, it's been the best by far. It did close to 7 running 75 to Ohio and back at 70k. I don't do anything special to get mileage when I'm driving but don't try to waste fuel either.

Someone confirm my suspicions, a 12k rated steer axle has different bearings and kingpins than a 20k rated steer axle correct? I swear heavy axles have bigger parts.......
