Leaking up-pipes won't show using a boost-leak detector hooked up to the turbo, just fyi. Theoretically, you can hook the detector up to your exhaust pipe to check for a leak at the up-pipes, but I don't know anyone who has actually done it. I still reccomend building the detector, it is great for what it costs!

I am bringing this back from the dead. I just got back from a quick weekend trip with the missus. Drove from sea level to 10 and a half thousand feet, back to 5 thousand, then back up over the pass at 10.5 grand then back to sea level.

357 miles miles total. I averaged 14.5 on the flat part. Filled up at 6 thousand feet before starting the pass. If anyone knows the Sonora pass, they know it goes up to 10.5 grand and then comes down. A short drive at 15-27% grade the whole way.

Anyways, I kept the speed down because there was still snow and water (yes in june) and I got 15.7 mpg!!!!!

I couldnt believe it. Ok. well it was up and over the pass, about 50 miles of flats and then back over the pass.

I guess keeping it under 65 is the secret to mpg.

Anyways, it was an F-350, dually 4x4 with a big old high top ARE aluminum commercial camper, with only about 200 lbs worth of car camping gear...

Nice!

Slowing down a bit (55-60mph) has a HUGE affect on mileage in my truck. Suck's cause it takes longer to get anywhere, but sure is nice to see some kickass mileage when you get there.:D

That mpg sounds real good. I wish I could get some good figs on mine but I can't get the new to wear off yet. Guess that's why Cody says there is a learning curve w/these things.
