. chris how ya liking the liberty give me some info please. seems im going to be making a few trips a year to fl. my 05 4x4 cummins is nice but im getting about 14.5 mt at the speed of traffic. sure i can slow it down to 60 but ya stand a good chance of somebody driving over you. kinda playing with the idea of a change but am not sure that the getting is worth the going. if it is only 3mpg than of course it is not. like i said it is just a idea although probably not a good one. then again maybe the liberty might be just the thing for a run around truck for fl or perhaps for the wife up here. roy .

sounds like a faulty replacement. it can happen brake pedal slowly goes to the floor when constant hard pressure is put on it. i replaced the master cylinder because of this and with the new unit on its still doing it. with the pedal on the floor and the accelerator pressed the truck does not move. is this normal or something to get fixed. im pulling an 11000# fifth-wheel. please help! if there are no external leaks the mc is bypassing internally. there seems to be a lot of reports of brand new mcs being bad right out of the box. a booster wont cause the problem youre having. .

snip i know the obvious answer would be -- dont go back to shell. i was just wondering if there was different additives they use or different refining techniques. does the added temperature help the decline in fuel mileage why would one be better than the other i love my ctd but these things are hard to figure out !! the distillation of crude in crude units are basically the same everywhere. differences come about with different crudes that are on fringes of what we normally use. this part of the process is the same for shell valero and all the others. after the diesel side cuts comes off the atmospheric column and the vacuum column in the crude unit it goes off to the diesel hydrotreater to get cleaned up treated further and sent off to storage. additives are blended into the fuel prior to the trucks picking it up at the loading rack. for those refiners that supply multiple brands additives are blended to match the brand. think of it as a paint supplier. they supply basic white paint and additives to blend into the end product color the customer wants. it is this portion of the process dht and additives that introduces the differences between the refiners. then you have the potential differences in condition of the underground tanks and lines at the stations and whatever contaminates might have entered the tanks. so yeah fuel from different brands and different stations can be different. personnally i wouldnt put shell into any of my vehicles. i didnt like their gasoline and dont like their diesel. ymmv fmb .
