Hey everybody I'm fairly new here. I have ab 08 CC SB 4wd. So far I have put AFE intake and I'm waiting on my TBE from H&S to get here any day. I have been couped up in the house for the past two weeks from surgery so I have been reading all of my old Issues of Diesel Powerand DieselWorld. (Since I used to be a Ford Guy I never really paid much attn to the Cummins articles). I came across one about the Snow water methanol injection they did on a 6.7. I don't pull a whole lot, maybe 2 or 3 times a month I'll pull our Bobcat. Would this system help me anywith fuel mileage and/or hp.
I only have appr. 3200 miles on the truck. The fuel mileage isn't as bad as I though it was gonna be but it isn't greatby any means. The last two tanks i ran through it empty Igot 15.2 and 15.5 hand calc. on a combination of Interstate and backroads. Now pulling is a different story. It seems like any time you have to work that motor it gulps the fuel. I am hoping that the CAI and exhaust really help but anything else I can do would be iceing on the cake.
BTW this is my second Cummins. I have driven nothing but Powerstrokes since 94. Ive had 4 and the last one was a 6.0 and the 3 sets of headgaskets the last 6 weeks I owned the truck changed my mind about Navistar. I bought a 99 Dodge from a friend in Dec and was instantly hooked on the gobs of tq this Cummins produces. Ihad to eat a lot of crow because of the amount of smack I have talked over the years. But in the end when it was time to spend my hard earned money on a new truck it wasa no-brainer. The tq won me over and I must say Dodge hasnt only narrowed the gap in truck quality I think they are on par with Ford, but with a better diesel engine.
