    Oh-well, I've said my peace. I think it works, by the numbers and by my fuel cost as an owner opp. Plus, what I spent $381 installed, I've already saved in fuel cost. No matter weather if it was just slowing down, which I told you guys I tried before, still didn't get the results I'm getting now. Or the 3000d I'm happy with my results. Shoot, I could spend that just by taking all you guys out to the bar and buying everyone a drink. (Which we all have done before) so to all you guys thinking about it. WHAT IS IT WORTH TO YOU// YOU HAVE THE REVIEWS DECIDE FOR YOURSELF LIKE I DID//// never know for yourself until you've tried it// what is it worth to YOU!/// GOOD LUCK

    A better solution would be to replace those old fuel lines which are prone to collapse on the inside which decreases fuel rail pressure and affects performance.

    Why do you think the Turbo 3000 doesn't work on new engines? Because the rail pressure is already high.

    Apples to apples.

    Naw, an APU can cost upwards of $10K. Not to mention purchasing a few dozen APU's could have a price tag in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Factor in the logistics of Apu maintenance, repair and regular service times hundreds of machine ='s big $$$$. Then you have dumb ### company drivers (who have zero concept of what fuel costs) that will leave an apu running all weekend while they are snug and cozy at their own home. Just so the cab will be cool or warm when they return 48 hours later, or they simply forgot to disable it. Pretty easy to understand why some companies stay away.

    If there was a product such as turbo3000 that actually worked, and it was a true "install and forget" product. Every manufacturer on planet earth would have them as oem.

    Apples to apples...

    For those of you that are true believers in the 3000d I have another product that youre just going to love. The turbo air guide or TAG (note really cool acronym) it works the same as your turbo3000, but instead of straighteing fuel it straightens the air going into your turbo.

    It MUST WORK, they even have the dyno to back it up! That proves everything. Right, right?






























    Wrong! :biggrin_25523: :biggrin_2559:

    Man this forum is great. opinions are king. I say, to folks to have the theory if it was good, it would be O.E.M. just browse this forum. there are things, aftermarket that are GOOD! that are BETTER, than O.E.M. but not endorsed by O.E.M. or mfr's. tell Mr. Haney's customers ,that they the products he recommended or sold, is snake oil cause they were not from or endorsed by the Mftr or O.E.M. p.d.i. products or service cannot be good, cause if it were all truck owners, co, fleet, o/o all would have it from the factory.:biggrin_25523: why are patents still being granted? cause new things are still being invented. things are still being improved upon. what about a person back in the 50's or 70's saying that there is a way to make cars go faster get 3 times better m,p,g, & be great in the take off & top end all without changing or modifying anything? it is I.M.O. that people who try to improve & spend time & money doing r&d are to be commended, for at least trying.

    Your argument is flawed because the ECM programming people are getting from PDI, BullyDog or even the older pre-EPA flash files Mr.Haney has has been deemed illegal thanks to the idiotic EPA! It's not that the engine makers don't know how to make an engine run great, it's that their not allowed to! These newer engines have the timing so r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d to make the tree huggers happy that performance and fuel economy suffers.

    yes....believe me oems would crank the timing up where it should be, have different cam profiles etc...if they didnt have to meet epa regs. you would see cooler running more reliable more fuel efficient engines

    Yeah, youre right. That Bullydog downloader I see on billboards all over the US. You know which one I mean, the one thats ten year old technology they sell truckers for $3K. Yeah, theyre not screwing truckers at all. Never mind the fact that diesel pickup guys can buy the same thing from $300 - $600 and single files for $100 each.

    Yeah that turbo 3000d, its not doing any harm, its not doing any good either. But, why should we bad mouth them for trying to make a living.

    I say let the chips fall where they may. the truth is more easy to accept when Not bashing one, but point out how your conclusion( generally speaking) is correct. merit ,facts, experience, e.t.c. I was thinking the same as others. this eco thing does not work, it is a copy of turbo, was biased, for sure against a product I had no knowledge of. I only changed my mind after reading posts & several at that, who stated it worked for them. did I think it must work? no. just went to a neutral position, with an open mind.

    The worst part of all the EPA stuff according to my guy from CAT. If a new development, technology or idea is not going to help them get to the numbers they need to meet guidelines they don't even look at it.

    Because of a flawed system we have actually lost ground on fuel economy. And when I hear people at the EPA say "see, they say it couldn't be done but it was" I just shake my head. All these companies punted at the last minute by turning down engines combined with technology they felt wasn't ready.
