I just had a stage VI installed and have noticed a significant drop in mileage. Has anybody else experienced this or is this a completely unrelated issue?

I stopped checking mileage long time ago. Mac Stoner 10-05-2004, 05:06 PM Murray...........how did you get a stage VI?? Musta done 2 stage 3's.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif Eric didn't tell me bout that option........... Murray the Cop 10-05-2004, 06:34 PM Ask Eric!!! I meant V. I guess I still haven't recovered from the transfer case being droped on my head.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/hihi.gif 17 to 13 is a big drop. Cleaned the air filter and maf sensor but still no change. Did change the additive I was using from stanadyne to tpf something or other added some soy stuff too. Maybe it has something to do with it.

Another possibility is winter blend has hit the market which will also tend to drop mileage this time of the year. Mac GMC-2002-Dmax 10-05-2004, 08:52 PM I assumed it was a kit that Eric installed........ Maybe he did purchase a complete tranny.........http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley3.gif Thttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley9.gifNY sdaver 10-05-2004, 09:08 PM theres only a few fives out there and I know 4 of them...........soon there will be a 04 silver bitch LB7 GMC crew cab 4x4 with one Got Juice? 10-05-2004, 09:31 PM silver bitch?

In order to not risk ticking off somebody, he got one hell of a deal on a 5 installed.. Price he paid is not important, just that he is happy. As for mileage, I didnt think of the winter fuel thing..... Could be just cause your truck is a dog Anthonyhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/hihi.gif Murray the Cop 10-06-2004, 04:56 AM Thanks Eric!!!!! This ringing in my head just won't stop!!!! Maybe a TTS will get me out of the dog house. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif OH, and about this lump on the side of my head.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/hihi.gif | ||
