Those are nice numbers, but are they hand calculated or on the overhead display. I have several buddys with 05s, and I have an 06 but our numbers are not that good.:;

So far mine's within .5 mpg of hand calc. Only 2K on it so far though.

Okay, so someone tell me about 'ddp'? I think that's the place. Located in Monroe. Specializes in diesel repairs.

First thing: Where is it in Monroe?

Also, would anyone take their trusted Tow Rig, diesel need only to reply, to a Jiffy Lube type place, for an oil change?

Never take anything to Jiffy Lube. Especially a diesel. You're also done using anything Fram. Fram is not made to OE specs. Look at the box of other filter makers. They're made to meet or exceed OE specs.

How does nitrous explode?

It is non-flammable gas.

When you heat nitrous oxide to about 570 degrees F (~300 C), it splits into oxygen and nitrogen. So the injection of nitrous oxide into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion. Because you have more oxygen, you can also inject more fuel, allowing the same engine to produce more power. Nitrous oxide is one of the simplest ways to provide a significant horsepower boost

sorry had to do it brad

Where did you go?

 

[Lucky Jeff]

The overhead isn't that bad on a stock truck.. but if you modify the truck in any way then it's just worthless..

And damn 8.4?? Hell with the 18k trailer behind my Dad's 05 dually I never did that bad. Even in Nevada
