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.Last edited: Apr 18, 2013
heavyhaulerss Thanks this. -
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.
old time Thanks this. -
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?

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