    I am not part of Dice's posse. The problem I see with this is that when a negative result comes across the board, excuses are made, and accusatory implications of how it may have been installed incorrectly or other typical salesmen BS flies around here like tumbleweeds in a tornado.

    I sold cars for a short stint. I hated it, but the one thing I walked away with is the ability to see a sales pitch through all the smoke and mirrors. You are conquering objections, but the only problem is the crowd is not "under the ether". They are street smart "been around the block" and heard all the BS seasoned truckers have endured over the years.

    If the ECO works for the majority and not for one or two, who give a flying F if you get a negative result ?? Let it go and let people draw their own conclusions.

    At this point, I would not buy one if I decide to be a truck owner down the road due to the pure fact of the childish diatribe I see here in this forum. I will head over to the garage, and get some adult answers in real time from the likes of Mr. Haney who will shoot straight and say, "This will work for you, and that won't...."

    I agree with JFaulk as far as I would not go down the road doing 57mph and wasting my precious time and hours of service looking to eek out more miles per gallon. I would want a truck that pulls righteous MPG numbers being able to legally run the speed limit, because my time is worth money to me.

    Dice should have never tested it to begin with. I think he made a mistake and should have followed his gut instinct, because as I see it, it was spot on.

    How many testers have FASS or AirDog on their trucks?

    I've caught you in an outright lie. Your credibility is now zero, if it wasn't already.

    YOUR OWN TESTING showed a NEGATIVE MPG result for two of your test vehicles! One was for the HWFET test result, and the other was for the volumetric test result.

    Here is the link to the testing documentation.


    Table 5 on page 9 tells the story.

    (mods, don't close the thread yet!) :)

    Oh no don't do that. The best way to point out the stupidity of products like this is to put it all out in the open.

    I'm surprised you didn't mention that 3 out of the 4 vehicles tested showed an INCREASE in harmful emissions.

    You make a good point. I'm only dogging Ben about his fuel efficiency claims, since that is his main selling point here on TTR.

    Since reducing 'harmful emissions' doesn't translate into more cash in the pocket of the O/O, that probably won't sell his product here :)

    He's also claimed that reducing emissions = better fuel mileage.

    Reduction of HC and CO could support that claim, as HC is raw, unburned fuel and CO is combustible. The numbers do not support that claim, however.

    That mileage was figured by the Carbon Method and not real world driving or just measuring the fuel. That is why the rebuttle was allowed.
    Read the whole report and rebuttle.
