i had a friend with a small-block chevy in a full-size pickup lowered *fat* tires & all. he was getting 18 mpg. wanted a big-block but didnt want to get worse mileage. decided to go with one anyway but used a 700r4 overdrive trans. now getting 28 mpg! so the secret is to get an engine with enough power so that you dont have to open the throttle much at crusing speed & an overdrive trans. of course all the other things like removing weight etc. helps too. hth paul aka tha driver giggle cream - it makes dessert *funny*! .

you i am sure are aware that a full size diesel powered truck with a 6speed wont get that mileage. ******* i have no experience with those. seems to me it would do better but they may be very heavy or geared alot lower to make up for the lack of power. heres a better example for you. a corvette that weighs 3200 lbs. and has about zilch for drag with a small block and a 6 speed wont get that mileage. a vw new beetle doesnt get it either. ****** neither has the torque nor the gearing im talking about. should i mention the pickup is lowered quite a bit & therefore has reduced drag the same truck with the small-block was only getting 18 mpg. so asshole think about it how long will your car idle on a gallon of gas an hour now take that add just a *little* throttle to bring it up a few hundred rpms & couple that with a lightweight truck yes the pickup weighs alot less than the vette!. now if you had the torque & gearing to run 60 at that rpm what would be your mileage can you do any math if youre too stupid to consider the facts then dont call me a liar! trust me he was shocked & very pleased by his mileage. paul aka tha driver giggle cream - it makes dessert *funny*! this is nowhere. your playing with yourself. .

mpg depends on what you get now. mainly keep your foot out of it. but for hp................ install a 180 degree thermostat. install an open k&n air filter. yeah go ahead and laugh but this does work. i have the dyno results to prove it. if you want what they call a cold air system just stick with your stock set up and add the k&n but the open filter works better. about 3hp increase over the cold air system.if you dont like k&n then get another quality high flo filter. the after market cold air systems are not really cold air as they still suck from the engine compartment. at least the factory system pulls the air from outside. get a throttle body from a 5.2. polish and throat it. not port!. all the guys that talk about porting a throttle body dont even know what porting is. simply polish up the velocity stacks with a dremel and sanding drums then fine stones. actually going from your 46mm to the 52mm alone will make a world of difference. get a new catalytic converter. drill and knock out the insides so it is full open as long as there are no emissions tests in your area then add on a cat back system that is as simple as a straight through glass pack with 2.5 in/out. if you have emission testing then get a high flo cat and a cat back system. leave the guts in the cat. get one of the simple power mods off of ebay. look for the guy that sells them for $5 or so. all they are is a resistor and only costs about $0.90 anyway but this is a cheap reprogram for your computer. now then you can talk about 1.6 or 1.7 1 rockers. all of this is simple bolt on and will make a hp difference. i have these mods and still get 17mpg around town running a 4.10 suregrip. dont bother with the throttle body risers unless as i did you want to add dry nitrous. these things by themselves do not do anything but they make an excellent tap point for nitrous injectors. check out http//www.speedtweaks.ca/tipsandtricks.php on 3 jul 2004 155436 -0700 rfisch@raffex.com ryan wrote can anyone tell me the best engine/exhause mods i can make to get more power and better gas mileage of my 2003 dakota 3.9l v6 tks all .

actually a good synthetic will help but more on the order or 1/2 to 1 mpg and maybe not any but it is very good engine protection. i prefer mobil 1 and no i do not work for them nor own stock in them. i have however torn down an engine with 78000 miles on it that had never run anything but mobil 1 and it speced out like new. on mon 05 jul 2004 031927 gmt tbone t-bonenospam@nc.rr.com wrote can anyone tell me the best engine/exhause mods i can make to get more power and better gas mileage of my 2003 dakota 3.9l v6 amsoil series 2000 0w-30 synthetic motor oil. delivered just over 5 more miles per gallon for me and the performance improvement was obvious. - was it as obvious as your complete bullshit here 5 extra mpg what were you using before tar all the best steve 15 year independent amsoil synthetic lubricants dealer offering wholesale prices to all dealerships available e-mail me for details ahh now the truth comes out another snake oil salesman. .

hi i was inspired by the synthetic oil chat! this isnt in a truck but a motorcycle. a ktm 640/lc4. new from the factory i took it to the factory to do oil changes until the warranty expired. then i put in this spectrol synthetic that ktm sent me. if you dont know these motorcycles the oil circulates between the engine and the transmission so i can feel the difference in the shifter! it was a dramatic change in shifting ease going synthetic so i know the engine is turning easier. had to cut the idle back even. if you want to go synthetic note you may find that mobile1 is all over but there are better conventional oils. mobile1 might be the worst synthetic. harry can anyone tell me the best engine/exhause mods i can make to get more power and better gas mileage of my 2003 dakota 3.9l v6 amsoil series 2000 0w-30 synthetic motor oil. delivered just over 5 more miles per gallon for me and the performance improvement was obvious. - all the best steve 15 year independent amsoil synthetic lubricants dealer offering wholesale prices to all dealerships available e-mail me for details now this is why people get on amsoil every time a post like this bs appears. dont ya find it odd that the major auto/truck makers dont put this snake oil in every car /truck they sell for 5 miles more per gallon they would blow everybody here. .

i guess this is off topic but i too use it in the bike. when i changed to it in an older high milage one the clutch started to slip and then the starter clutch would not engage to start the engine. after a bunch of new parts it worked again. i put it in the 03 savage though from the 500 mile mark with no problem. someone told me that in the truck though if you have a suregrip and use synthetic you do not have to use the additive. wonder if anyone has done this ................ on 7 jul 2004 135400 -0700 harryhydro@hotmail.com harry wrote hi i was inspired by the synthetic oil chat! this isnt in a truck but a motorcycle. a ktm 640/lc4. new from the factory i took it to the factory to do oil changes until the warranty expired. then i put in this spectrol synthetic that ktm sent me. if you dont know these motorcycles the oil circulates between the engine and the transmission so i can feel the difference in the shifter! it was a dramatic change in shifting ease going synthetic so i know the engine is turning easier. had to cut the idle back even. if you want to go synthetic note you may find that mobile1 is all over but there are better conventional oils. mobile1 might be the worst synthetic. harry can anyone tell me the best engine/exhause mods i can make to get more power and better gas mileage of my 2003 dakota 3.9l v6 amsoil series 2000 0w-30 synthetic motor oil. delivered just over 5 more miles per gallon for me and the performance improvement was obvious. - all the best steve 15 year independent amsoil synthetic lubricants dealer offering wholesale prices to all dealerships available e-mail me for details now this is why people get on amsoil every time a post like this bs appears. dont ya find it odd that the major auto/truck makers dont put this snake oil in every car /truck they sell for 5 miles more per gallon they would blow everybody here. .

polly erred somebody wanted to know about the radio endorsement on your cdl. the radio endorsement on your cdl will allow you to operate on freeband ham radio cb frs and company trucking frequencies. not a bad deal! study guides for the radio endorsement are sold at most interstate truck stops. polly there is no such endorsement -- the fcc not the usdot has jurisdiction over radio communication in the us. cb and frs *might* be considered freeband since the licensing requirements were eliminated decades ago. however there are regulations still that apply to transmitter power mode frequency control etc for those services. the fcc still requires operators of transmitters in the amateur bands to hold valid amateur radio service licenses. thus it is not freeband. bryan amateur advanced class 1970 general radiotelephone operator 1975 .
