TxChristopher 07-04-2005, 11:14 AM Yes. The DIC becomes useless after different programming enters the picture. The different program ruins the DIC, similar to the way marriage ruins DIC's. . lakingslayer 07-04-2005, 11:21 AM :exactly: 70 gsconvt 07-04-2005, 11:53 AM Not to sound too ignorant, but what's the DIC?? TxChristopher 07-04-2005, 12:01 PM Driver Information Center The display in the instrument cluster that tells you your mileage and all that other crap like driver 1 and 2 . HBruns 07-04-2005, 02:58 PM The Juice/Attitude does not "ruin" the DIC - rather the mileage numbers become more optomistic. For me, with the J/A set at 4 when not towing and 2 while towing, the mileage numbers are about 2 MPG higher than hand-calculated MPG. Without the J/A attached, the DIC was about 1/2 MPG higher than hand-calculated mileage numbers. 70 gsconvt 07-04-2005, 05:48 PM Oh. DUH! Thanks. TxChristopher 07-04-2005, 07:38 PM More optomistic is an understatement. It isn't anywhere near close UNLESS you totally never give it hardly any throttle. The more throttle the more it is off, and I mean way off, as in the DIC will say you are getting 35 or 42mpg's or some other ridiculous number at 85-90mph . Diesel_Day_Dreamin 07-04-2005, 08:33 PM My DIC has been off 1.5 to 2.5 MPG since day one... Installing the Juice/Attitude made no difference in the numbers (hand calculated verses DIC). I can't vouch for the 85 to 90 mph scenario, too many "revenew generators" with radar guns around here to hold those speeds for a sustained distance. My point is the DIC is a "feel good" tool. nothing makes one happier than standing around with your buds, beer in hand, braggin about how your 7000# truck gets 20 Miles Per Gallon. After real world hand calculating, you will be disappointed to find out the DIC was inflating your MPG numbers 15% to 20%. | ||
