I have been reading bits and pieces about how the common rail engines have this so called “internal EGR” due to the way the camshaft is ground.
People say this is one of the reasons the newer trucks don’t get the same MPG as the old.
I can attest that my 1995 1-ton dually with the 12v and NV4500 would get as high as 20 mpg and 22 mpg if I kept the speed below 60 mph.
With my 2004.5 3/4 ton 4x4 auto I have never been able to get the MPG into the 20’s no matter how I drive it.
Have any of you swapped cams in a 3rd gen CR engine to try and gain back some of the performance and MPG that is lost due to this polluting the cylinder with exhaust?
And if so what else will need to be done to make the computer / truck / engine all live happy together?
Thanks!
