Success!


Two new IPR connectors and all is well again.

Guess they were starting to loose a little tension from being taken apart about a thousand times.

I took the truck for it's first voyage out of town today. The trip totaled around 140 miles with 100 of it being in the mountains. I was able to top off the tank right before we got into the mountains and again on the way back. I averaged 18.2 mpg in the hills, and keep in mind this was either climbing a hill or going down one. There was NO flat land at all for this part of the trip, and these are not your average hills. Truck preformed well, there is still more fuel that needs to pulled out and a few shifting adjustments that need to be made but all and all I was happy. I was concerned that the fuel mileage was going to suffer with such large nozzles, but turns out they get similar mileage as the stockers. I cant wait to get this thing out on the open road and see what kind of MPG's it can do.

That beast sounds SO sweet in the video. I was trying to figure out which guage was the boost guage - those are some nasty EGTs!! It's been fun following this thread and your mods - congrats on dialing it in!!

LOL

I am having a hard time remembering which gauge is for what now..............
