Here take a look from Drag Coeffiency... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=885 This is taking a stock 2500 or 3500 dodge truck no lift or body changes... Nor Drag Co. is .45 or so. But you add trailers, slide in camper, lift kits, etc will change the Co. number upwards rapidily. No notice the relation to speed and HP required to keep the speed. 55 MPH they are all about the same but now increase to 75 MPH it starts to change. The other factor here that is not being added it the frontal area which I assume stock frontal area but if you got a lift kit, leveling kit, trailers, this changes the curve really quick. Side Note: ISX I need you to build a Drag C. spread sheet with the graph and be able to plug in numbers...

Strange Sound near passenger side block
As for the injectors there are many people that get 200-300K miles on a set of injectors without much issues. I could but I don't think you'll get much hits... I'd love to... Just let me know and I'll keep a eye on the fishing holes...

Helpful Spreadsheets
I told ISX he needs to create a Excel sheet that does the fuel mileage log like what I got... then another one is to a maintenance log... The current software I got is really slow since my MySQL table has rather large now...http://www.lonewolf-software.com/automotivewolf.htm I'm sure ISX can build a better Excel sheet...

Wife fueled the Truck!!
One of those additive is a anti-scorching compound to allow the ATF fluid to take on high heat from the torque convertors. Then the fricition modifiers that help make the clutch packs stick better. Dorkweed and AH64ID ar both right ATF is NOT intended yo burn not like 1970's... Then the other problem is it dyes the fuel red which in turn might it you in trouble with Johnny Law... Yes in Idaho I heard of a few random check on farm trucks...

Service life of VP44
I know there is most of us getting into 150K miles to 300K miles from a pump. To have a VP44 fail in under 100K there is something wrong... * No fuel pressure gauge to monitor the lift pump perforamnce.* Allowing the fuel pressure to fail to or below 10 PSI for extended periods.* Poor filter performance. Suggest you use only fleetguard stratpore filters or better.* Poor fuel lubricity. <400 HFRR is Bosch standards and today fuel is ~520 HFRR.* Excessive usage of injection cleaner, cetane boosters, and anti-gel products. Currently at 121K on the VP44 clock and still pulling strong...

Diesel fuel vs. pecan
ISX the mad scienist... The video should of been how a Ford Diesel works because the ford has glow plugs... Well the idea is sound but the problem is the price of pecans are spendy and then process them...

Diesel fuel vs. pecan
Boy talk about low cetane fuel... It took a lot of heat to get that little pecan to ignite but it did ignite rather explosively. Shocking to see how long a single pecan burns... That's a lot of calories in one nut! I better stop eating them... I'll feed them to my Cummins...

great lake states
I just hauled this in I cruised 55 MPH the whole way home and the pyro was running 1,000 to 1,100 the whole way home... I grimaced to even look at the SGII and it displayed 13.1 MPG (For the day) and 15.2 MPG (for the tank)... Ugh... That hurts... But I done several good trips my best all time record is 25.3 MPG.. But take notice there is no entry below 14 MPG... The thing that is killing me are these 265/75 R16 Cooper STT tires they weigh nearly a extra 20 pound per wheel compared to mt 235/85 R16 which I can hit the 20 MPG as a usual thing... But my highway tires are horrid when it comes to skidding trees, and climbing offroad on even grass and weeds...
