[Aaron]

When you reset the MPG counter, then coast up to a light....neat stuff happens

[Keith Browning]

Heh, we could have some fun with the Diesel Stop crowd and this one.

 

 

 

"It's an experimental tune"

[Aaron]

Oh shit...i never thought of that

 

"Yeaaaap. My 6.4 'stroke gets almost 42MPG!"

 

"Send $5 and a SASE, and I will mail you the instructions!"

FWIW, on my '03 Dodge/5.9 Cummins I reset the trip meter while I was driving one time, happened to be shortly before a long downhill. I discovered that the system maxes out at 99.9 MPG; should have snapped a pic of that. Well, nevermind, then customers would expect that kind of mileage in real life.

put 1,000 lbs (453.5924 k) or more in the back of the truck and the mileage will get better. One of my customers had to use his personal truck to move his smallish backhoe back and forth to a job for a week, his mileage went up from around 10 mpg to 19-22 mpg.

You are the devil, no?

Why is that?

[Aaron]

Probably to make the truck do a little work, as opposed to being a grocery getter

[Mekanik]

maybe it goes into re-gen less when it is working harder.

YES EXACTLY

I would also hazard a guess that the chambers are kept warmer promoting more complete use of the fuel delivered into the cylinder.
