Here is how my truck is set up:
2001 x-cab shorty 4x4 D/A
285/75/16 BFG AT tires on 16x8 American Racing Allison deep pan with transynd
Regular Juice level 4
Kennedy's 4-5" exhaust
Isspro gauges (Pre-turbo EGT)
Total power and + 8 cetane (fuel treatments)
JK's Mega filter
I was traveling from just north of Eau clare, WI on I-94 to Beloit, WI (south) averaged 12.9 MPG. Air temp was 54-56 (night run). Truck was on it's own pad when weighted. Truck weighed 10080 :eek: and trailer weighed 9280 for a total of 19360 lbs. EGTs generally (95% of the time)around 850-900 with cruise set all the way home. A couple hills EGTs would climb to 1050. Highest recorded temp was 1250 (I just had to romp on it a little :D ) The Allison never got over 190*. I can't believe all the grunt this thing has. Big rigs would be running next to me, come to a hill and the Dmax would power over it in overdrive everytime with the cruise set. :D WOW!! They would fall way behind. Came down a steeep hill on a county road in tow haul mode 50mph (4th gear) engine turning 2500 RPM and the EGTs were 250*. The grade braking feature don't do much with this kind of mass. I was very very impressed with my Dmax. :D :D :D
BTW: I have run 6 tanks of fuel without bleeding air from mega filter. Run it down to the red everytime and still manage to have a couple gallons left. NO start/stall problems at all. That is just over 2000 miles. Hmmm
