Fuel mileage with new injectors

Posted

Got my ducky 7x9's in the other weekend. Working on my tunes a little at a time.  Seems as tho my fuel mileage has fell pretty bad. Now that I think about could my mileage have reset when I unhooked my batteries??? Anywho the lie o meter seems to think it's not to much worse than it was. I have finally made my self stop getting on it every time I get in the truck! I have put about 300 miles on it since putting um in so I don't have a lot of data on um. However I can cruise at about 65 and timing is 18.56ish. Egts are at around 660. Add more timing or just give it some time for me to adjust to the new power?  Mainly will the odometer reset with batteries unplugged. That will answer a lot of my questions as of now lol

    Good, now we got that straightened out. I think it's illegal for chickens to like ducky's anyway. Something in the avian code of ethics. There's your crow

    DDP or Dynomite diesel performance are the smokey hot terribly overpriced ones.   DFI or Ducky Fuel Injection makes good injectors.

    You absolutely could be right on that. Now if we could just get @Me78569off his porch he could enlighten us. I have not had enough crow to eat today.

The odometer no. The trip-meter I'm not sure, but if I had to guess I would also say no as mileage is stored in the cluster.

    If you unhook batteries I’m pretty sure it resets trip meter

    The Ducky injectors could be the problem. I hear the spray patterns are not good on the 2nd gen 24v's. @Me78569I believe knows more about that than I do.

    I could be wrong, but Ducky's are pretty good injectors. It's the DDP's that are junkers. I'm sure we'll get clarification.

    Trip meter. That's the name. I don't know why I couldn't think of it! I heard a lot of good about ducky. A little slow on custom service but I like the injectors so far. Other than wondering where my fuel mileage went

    After a few Blue Moons it's really not that bad. Of course it helps if you remove the feathers before throwing it in the microwave.

    My lie o meter reads 28 with duck sac 7x009 actual mileage is 17-19 i can bust 19 if i run only freeway

     

    Thats with smarty on 9 and 62 turbo auto trans with 3.55s and rpm less than 2000 tires about 32.5

    How fast are you drivingat 2k rpms?   I believe that's over 75 mph.  19 at 75 is pretty damn good.

    That is correct. I didn't think so but I found out during the ground mod that the trip does reset after disconnecting the batteries.
