I don't know if many have had time to do any real towing yet to get these numbers. I know I haven't. Too early. Let the poll run a while, it will start to track.

OK - just wanted to give it a bump so everyone knew it was there.

My wife is on a run from Jacksonville, FL to Nashville, TN with our 5ver. I'll posts MPG's when she returns. JJ http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

Fingers,


3 mpg on the way up, hopefully 9-10 on the way back! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif I'm flying into Nashville on Thursday to meet her and drive back with her on Monday.


This is her first run with this combo so today has been a little nerve racking.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Wacko.gif She climbed a pretty good grade outside of Chattanooga and the D/A took the 5ver up it without hesitation. Engine temp did climb to about 225, tranny held steady at 190. So far I am very impressed with the truck.


I'll post mpg's likely on Tuesday. JJ http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

As has been reported, EGRs have been on Kalifornia trucks since '02. But I don't recall anyone ever reporting reduced mileage problems. So how is it that this mod is expected to increase mileage?

Poorer milage has been the norm for CA cars for a while.
