MPG's on my "FU"

[johnpaulgolf]

Allright my first trip pulling the Bronco with my new chip ...

Set on 69mph with 4.10 gears


EDIT: 65hp tow


11mpg avg.

So about 1-2 mpg's better ...


Trans temp was 160-170 the whole time ... does that sound bout right

EGT's were 700 or so

Boost stayed around 4-5psi

The EGT's actually look a bit low at 700, I would guess around 900 when pulling but you are flat and near sea level so no biggie. also depends on which tow tune you are using .. different tunes can vary the EGT's by a few hundred degree under the same settings. if you are on 4.10 gears it will give you lower EGT's than I get as I have 3.73's
tranny temps look about right for highway they will climb to about 190+ if you are doing a lot of stop and go or stuck in traffic on the freeway

Thanks for the Input ... I had it on 65hp tow ... no big hill climbs or nothing on this trip ... mostly flat stuff ... but very proud of my truck and chip

I have towed 20K lbs on the Colorado front range with the 40tow with no temp problems I use the 80 DD to haul my 3500 lb trailer when its empty all the time too..
