My MicroBlue experience

I don't think you will be hearing anything for a few years yet unless the coating causes a seal to go out or bearing to fail. I've got over 5 years on my trailer and haven't changed brakes, bearings or seals yet. If I can go 5 years I would imagine everyone else can too.

 

All I can tell you is my fuel mileage numbers are better than ever with my wheel bearings and rear ends have been in my truck over a year now with well over 100,000 miles. Sounds like it last alot longer than 500 miles and even Tony Stewarts WoO Sprint Cars that run on dirt use MicroBlue if that covers the dirt racing question since most of us don't run on dirt roads.




FYI: Donnie Schatz drives for Tony StewartRacing.

 

Don't think I understand what running on dirt has to do with it? So microblue is a Tony Stewart Racing sponsor?

I guess I'm kinda missing the point?

 

You are the one that bought dirt racing with no names to mention and yes you are missing the point that I don't think you will ever get until you actually have experience with the product.

Notice that I am not the OP of this thread.

 

Just cause some is sponsored by a product doesn't mean they use it...

The only reason I brought up dirt racing was due to a friend of mine told me about microblue being used by a few but being it didn't seem to stand up to their abuse I highly doubted it would hold up to ours...

Like I said, I'd love to see someone's microblued bearing/rears after a few years of abuse.

 

I don't care if it does wear out after a few years (I doubt it does) because the ROI for the 8/10ths mpg I gained on doing both rear gears paid for it already and I am still getting great fuel mileage. I believe another poster mentioned this already and sorry for repeating the samething that i thought you missed it the first time.

 

I'll also say this... There are very few who have the claims you do. Now I'm not saying your making anything up. The problem is the fact you did too many things in such a short time. Now was it to hide something... I don't know?

The guy on KR's site who also did te
Microblue on two of his trucks claimed a gain but then lost it, which fuels bill's new bearing argument. Paul, I think not was, did this to his two trucks without telling the drivers.... Both drivers had consistent fuel mileage. So to eliminate driver error, so to speak, he didn't tell either of them to get a true test... Microblue failed according to his reports. But as usual you and Craig made excuses/reasons for the loss in mpg's. So Paul tried several different things, at Craig's request. I haven't seen him post anymore about it.

Another thing that has me wondering is how your fuel reports have always stayed real close to the same... Now I could understand that if you pulled the same trailer all the time and run a fairly regular area, but you've stated you don't. I also know pulling other peoples trailers will change my mileage. Sometimes drastically...

 

Up until June this year alot of my miles was identical drop and hook dedicated runs with the same trailers that makes finding difference real easy and fast compared to different loads, routes and weights running wild. You can track me on fuel gauges that I did have different runs mixed in with OS loads and even empty trailers with those dedicated runs and now since June everything has been wild with even August was pushing 10 mpg average with alot of light loads and empty tankers until I pulled a 90K lb gross load right at the end of the month to Chicago including 2 major detours for backups that dropped my mileage for that run to 7.3 mpg. I feel the back ups cost me over 1/2 mpg with all the weight and stop and go with alot of traffic lights in Chicago area.

Again you can follow my dedicated runs and they will even vary as much as 1/2 mpg in those runs that were basically identical since 2010 on fuel gauges when my records started on there showing each modification and when I did including all odometer readings, fuel tickets, weather, traffic and misc notes for all.

As far as Paul goes, last I heard about his problem with conmet trailer bearing spacers was corrected and he just dropped off the radar with no more postings.

My truck does not have conmet bearings on it.

I am very happy with my numbers for the past 14 months since I started MicroBlue treating parts on my truck.

 

I thought you pulled a lot of different trailers...sorry. That is where a lot of skepticism has come in.

When you reported your results I felt you should've put more miles on each change than what you did. That would've removed all doubt. Personally I'd have liked to see 50 to 100k miles before doing something else, but i know sometimes that isn't possible.

As for Paul, Yeah I'd like to see what his results come to be. I feel he did the best kind of test possible with using drivers not knowing what was going on.

 

Les when ever you decide to try MB let us know your results?
