    Poor fuel Mileage

    I am calculating mileage by hand. From fill up to fill up using the same procedure. As far as mileage I have never gotten 15mpg towing anything. Even towing my 12’ mowing trailer I only get 12 at max. Towing my 14k gooaeneck with roughly 9k on the trailer I get at very best 10mpg. The last...

    Poor fuel Mileage

    It seems to be something that started slowly. I thought nothing about but it has been getting worse over last year. More noticeable after going to dealer for airbig recall. It came back from dealer and noticed the interior lights acting strange and then found the tipm board was bad. Other than...

    Poor fuel Mileage

    No tunes or tuner. No smoke. Do have just a very very small amount at idle but you really have to look for it to see it.

    Everything has been serviced on a normal basis. Nothing seems to be holding back the truck, like brakes etc. same size tires as came on it.

    Catyltic removal, Cat removal

    I had removed mine about 4 months ago. I was getting about 19mpg proir to removing and now it is down to 15mpg. As far as performance it didn't help at all. I am going to put mine back on because the loss in MPG's isn't worth it. Just my 2 cents

    Exhaust Temps

    AH64ID, I am not sure what the timing is, I think its set on 2 and torque is 2. But without going back and checking again not 100% sure. All I did was hook up Smarty and set it to towing mode.

    Exhaust Temps

    I went back and check the settings and it was on Towing at 99 or full power so I backed it down to 70 and will try that and get back to the forum with the results. Also I still have stock exhaust, should I up grade to a more open system? Thanks for all the responses.

    Exhaust Temps

    I installed a Pac brake and gauges on my 2006 3500DRW 5. 9 and I noticed that my exhaust temp, before turbo, is running 600 on flat ground and around 1100 on hills empty. I am running a Smarty Jr set on tow, everything else is stock. What should the temp be normally? I haven't even tried to pull...

    Quick drain oil plugs from Geno's

    I just recently place in on my truck and I agree with the Donn just need to torque it to proper specs. It is a great to have exspecilly if you do oil samples, makes it much easier.

    I was checking under the hood today when I noticed that my radiator coolant was not in the over flow container. I do not have any leaks anywhere that I can find. No coolant in oil, or transmission. Anyone have any ideas as to where this stuff is going? 2006 3500 5. 9l auto with 26678 miles
