    It's been roughly a little over a month since I replaced my injectors and turbo and just figured a few would like to see the print out I got out of the computer today. ECM Stuff.jpg

    ECM MPG is never accurate on my stuff. Mine says 8.5 mpg but fuel receipts and miles say 5.2 so I wouldn't jump for joy.

    I usually run the same routes and fuel at the same places, since everything has been done i can pass up geneva, oh run into cleveland unload/reload and make it back to geneva, oh for fuel. 50 gallons in the tank then geneva, oh to buffalo, ny and back to cleveland.

    Get a mechanical tow base plate with hooks so you can hook up to the ICC bumper. You'll be set. :p
