Running with JCT, Part Deux

Ain't much changed that way but maybe a couple of speed limits. LoL it's not been bad the couple of times I ran it last year or so.

 

It's a good road, but it's slow go that way and a little bit farther. If running west, I always stay on 80 and catch the MPGs going down Echo and and through the canyon all the way to Tremonton.

 

Everyone has a preference tho. Personally, I would only use it as an alternate route if the sisters or points in Utah are a complete mess or require chains.

 

Ok, is there a way to account for apu usage on scangauge? Or, do you just subtract a couple tenths in your head?

 

Apu is on its own so the SG can't see it so in your head is best

 

Apu is going to use such miniscule amount of fuel you won't even notice except your mpg staying up.

 

Why? Scangage off? If its off, figure how much in % then go into the menu and adjust. To be correct mine is adjusted +3%. It reads within 2 gallons on a 200 gallon fill which I attribute to heater/apu.

Be sure to set an accurate gallon capacity. Example:
120 gal x 2 tanks = 240
240 - 5% expansion (12) = 228
228 - 8 (4gal per tank reserve) = 220

YMMV!!

Routinely pump 205-210 gallons with a high of 217. 180-200 is where i feel safe. I highly recommend not going below 10 gal remaining per tank! (Something about inclines.....let's not go there)

TA, just got my scangauge a couple days ago, still getting the kinks out. Thanks for the info though.

 

Re:Scangage port

Cascadia?

• Remove scuff plate.
• Remove kick panel.
• Remove metal clip holding data port to kick panel.
• Tuck port up under dash.
• Reinstall kick panel and scuff plate.
• Pull down data port, attach Scangage and tuck behind top of kick panel.
