Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Went to the dealer today for a fuel leak at the injector lines and a sloppy idle when hot. They torqued down of the fuel lines and said the cross-over tubes would be needed if that did not fix it. Then they put the INSITE program on my under hood diagnostic connector and hooked it to a laptop. Man that thing would be handy. The computer did a cylinder check by shutting off different combonations of up to 4 cylinders at a time. It said all 6 of mine were within 3% of each other. He then shut off one at a time with puter and just listened to it. The sensors all agreed with each other on the important functions and he said the miss was not any thing they could find at the time and it was very slight and not to worry to much. I asked what else that thing could tell him.
He said that I had Burned 9127. 4 Gals of deisel
idled 432 hours
burned 153 gals while idleing
had a total of 3290 hours
had gone 94 MPH one time
The computer then graghed out how I use the truck. The tech said that I did not "gut" the truck or abuse it according to the graph. He told me most of my hard pulls were done between 1600 and 2200 where the motor is strongest. he said that people who abuse their trucks show a lot of hard pulls in the extreme low ( below 1000RPMs) or above 3K.
I wish I had this info to all the time. I figure the truck has gotten over 16. 75MPG and averaged 46. 5 MPH. I am also averaging just over 2. 75 gallons per hour. The MPG average is right where I guesed it should be and the MPH is much higher than the Duracrack runners are reporting. I also see that I am changing the oil at about 175 hour intrevals. Thats pretty short for something that runs in as clean as an eviroment as a pick-up.
