Tapping noise after engine warms up?
That's my laymen description. I had an annoying loud tick that wasn't normal. When ear by air intake it was very loud and apparent. Now it's fixed you can hear the valves as less of a tick and more of a soft thud as they open/close ;)

MPG fooler - Design phase
You stock Rogan ? With timing advance my overhead will show 28-30 whilst cruising at 40-45 with od off ... And around 24-26 in overdrive at 65mph .... I think those figures are around 2-3mpg high than real due to chip ...

Fuel Economy with the ToyHauler.
wouldn't be big Just one of these over a camper shell http://www.taylorwings.com/viewProduct.tw?uid=33970e2c-0f01-0000-0080-c83ee55bfd68&type_uid=477ad6cb-0601-0000-0080-f9a7c96a2953&line_code=RVTRUCK

Fuel Economy with the ToyHauler.
thats interesting For you Toy Haulers TT ...................... I have heard that mileage is LESS than a 5th wheel - due to the aerodymanics. I can get 11-13 mpg towing my 5th wheel ............... so 9-11 mpg towing a TT or TH seems about right That wind resistance idea with the CAB camper and wing would be interesting to validate ...... I know some 5th wheel guys that installed them and said maybe 1-2mpg

missing cover?
Yeah that's it and it's held on by 3 or 4 small bolts ... I would get a cover for it from yard as Isx said to keep dust from getting up ...

heat shield or no heat shield?
Eh ? But that's the basis of the mpg fooler right ? Or you mean actual temps make little diff but the ECM param does ?

MPG fooler - Design phase
Haven't read this in a little while .... but Guessing this is going to make little difference to someone running a truck in warm climate like AZ,TX or most places in summer - where IAT's are going to get 10+ pretty quick and stay there ? :shrug:Really only for you snowboyz ? :P

Annoying tick coming from No.6 Exhaust Valve
Yeah - that happened to me. Obviously check all the suggestions with the rockers/rocker rods/bolts ...... also check for leaks and missing exhaust manifold bolt #6 as they are know to fall out. But at the end of the day you could have a burnt/cracked valve. Cost me around $1500 to have the head pulled, the deck resurfaced, new valves and new gaskets and labor. Sucks - but what do you do. good luck.

Oh - thought you meant when you plugged in your RV275's you didn't feel a big difference

I'll be honest - I could tell no difference with my RV275's. Thats why I switched to +75. I did notice them. I picked up around 1-2 mpg on the RV275's. I picked up around the same with the +75's. I have lost 0.5mpg-1mpg around city - which I attribute to stomping on it more with the extra 75 ponies when I am not cruising. So ...... for mileage RV275's probably best. For balance of power and mileage = +75 CPP.
