let another nw bomber drive the truck tonight you should have seen the smile and then the oh yeah laugh

Bob, are you getting any milage figures while you & your friends play with the new power band?

 

[Bob Wagner]

mileage is low 16's do to not being able to able to get by the fun factor and I am running Mach 2. 4's too.



Its a 7100 lb fun to drive truck.



Headed to the beach and back 7-25 through 7-28 and that will be all towing at sea level.



I will post hand calculated numbers again, computer showed 21 plus on the last 1/2 tank #ad

MAD milage

16's don't sound so bad under the circumstances. I was getting 17's playing with the fun factor after I did my EZ & mach 1. 5 install. When I settled back to "normal" driving I was getting 19-20 with a top of over 25 on one steady 65 mph run.



With mach 2. 4's I can understand why you & your friends are smiling.

Sorry if this has been covered. I've read probably 90% of this thread but didn't see an answer to this question.



Does this new ECM have high-idle for when it gets cold? I saw where it was asked a few times, but haven't seen an answer yet.



Thanks,

Chris

jcbrown,

the softwares I use have the cold engine high idle incorporated. What I've not been able yet to confirm is if they need to be enabled by a dealer or not. Worst scenario you'd need to get it enabled by a dealer.

Its there, but the question remains is it enabled or not. Going to see if a nearby dealer will hook up the DRB III tool when I get my ECM and check to see if its enabled or disabled.

Well?

 

[Bob Wagner]

I kicked my self in the ass again today for not trying the cc. The only time that I use cc is across state trips.



Tomorrow for sure I promise (again)

Hey, tcourse, you got a great buy on that ECM!

 

[tcourse]

looking at the bid history, it was kinda close there at the end



3 seconds



Seriously tho, I've been working on the last few that have been up for bid.

[darkhorse]

I guess you got lucky. I had to go $100 higher than you to get mine & I've seen them go for over $300.

 

[GIT-R-DONE]

Tcourse, did you have to use e-snipe to get it? Just wondering, with only 3 seconds left at the end... . lol
