Yeah, but will it get more than the low 9 mpg's it managed for 3 weeks in July?

The aluminum hubs May fail upon lifting the pusher.

Another point on the engine is when they are born troublesome like this one has been even the best mechanic can seldom bring them back around. It was an experiment from the start to put best. It's had more ECM and turbo changes than it shoulda had in a life time. Maybe it shoulda been left stock from Detroit who knows at this point. I just know I wouldn't have faith in it

If that motor had been properly set up, it would live just fine running the rpm they were. The telling thing in all this, is that the tune didn't just magically change and cause MPG issues. When a motor starts having MPG issues, and all the external stuff checks out, the answer isn't to throw another ECM on the side. Things were going wrong internally for a long time on this motor, and the shop who supposedly knows what they are doing just threw band-aids at it.Davidlee Thanks this.
