What did you do for your best returnon investment?

accepting loads only in the wind blow direction...up to 1mpg

 

Between this list and buying my reefer, hard to say.

Things that I found robbing my boost:

Bad exhaust manifold gasket. September
Intake pipe boots between turbo and CAC on the hot side. October
Bad Delta-P sensor Nov.
Rebel127 tuned ECM on a dyno out east. December.
Overhead was out. January
Replaced DAVCO to fuel pump line with hose 6" longer and removed 90* bend at DAVCO inlet. January.
Bad CAC found yesterday. Replaced the CAC today.
Also started to treat the fuel with Killem biocide due to a heavy black build up inside the DAVCO. The fuel still looks clean and is not discolored or dark as I would suspect with a bad or leaky injector o-ring.


Reefer commands better rates and all that work has gotten me over 1.5 to 2 mpg back from what I am expecting. Low to mid 5's to 7 or better.

 

Some ECM work. $300. improved mpg by .75 mpg. ROI in two weeks.

 

My son is 17 and will be a senior in h/s this year. He's grown to 6'9" 285# and plays football. Alot of D1 schools have requested transcripts/game tape of him so I will say raising my boy (hes expensive) is my best investment with the greatest return.

 

BTW......even without the football my children are my greatest return on investment. I think that's true if anyone has children..... besides without our children who would wipe our backsides when we get old??

 

never seen my kids as an ROI.


Just something to be proud of to see them set and accomplish their goals.

 

Sell trucks buy gold?

 

You never bought a pair of shoes for someone with a size 19.

Sure, parenting is an investment, investing is not just monetary.

 

Has nothing to do with buying a size 19 shoe.

My kids are time and energy. Money is not a concern for them.

If you want to see it that way, enjoy your time with them.

I can tell you find sports to be the priority in your life. I don't.

 

Time and energy are investments, the outcome is the return.

Sports is not a priority, its an extracurricular school activity that's taken on that has taken on a life of its own.
