turbo 3000d does it work?

HT (High Torque) is the michelin designation that you want to stay away from. They are good in off road applications and have DEEP tread and thus long tread life. In order to achieve those things, you will sacrifice substantially in regards to fuel mileage.

ENERGY is the michelin designation that you want to look for when it comes to low rolling resistence and thus good fuel mileage. For the improved fuel mileage, you will sacrifice a small amount of tire life due to the compounds used and the initial tread depth. If you run the math though, the fuel savings far outweighs the loss in tire life though.

If you aren't afraid of running steers in all positions, then run michelin ZXA2 energy's. If you want luggers, then run XZA2 energy's on the steer and michelin XDA energy's on the drives. I don't care for the X one's myself, but you could run them on the drives and do slightly better than running the XZA2 energy's on all positions.

 

As one of my old bosses once told me about items like the Turbo 3000D, if they say it takes time for it to work, then it's snake oil.

 

Anyone wanna go in partnership with me and make the "Super turbo jet 8000xl" Lets just say we make them for $10 sell them for $100 and we sell only 100,000 units we will be rich. #### I love this paper truckin You should see how rich I'm getting

 

SNAKE OIL!! How can somthing in your fuel line do anything?? By agitating fuel, changing direction of basic fluid dynamics with a few baffels and blades??

Someone with a doctorate in mathmatics would have to show me scientificly how the 2000 changes fluid dynamics... for me to belive it even has a possibility of working..

The thing is in your fuel line before the injectors where fuel gets atomized at enormous pressures.. How can anything that has "no moving parts", or anything effect the combustion of fuel OR the atomization in the injectors?

Pure BS in my book!!!!

 

We have a winner, if this thing did anything it would only be that you might drive easier trying to make it make some difference thus resulting in better mileage

 

The sure sign that the 3000 is snake oil is that none of the engine manufacturers or truck builders has purchased the company and used the product exclusively on its engines / trucks. If it did half of what they claim the company would have been purchased by the equivalent of pocket change by a larger company long ago. Detroit spent something on the order of 300 million on its new DD15 engine and got about a 3 percent overall improvement in MPG. You think they would have passed up purchasing the "turbo vada" people for a lot less? Don't be chumps.

 

Just because a product doesn't come on a truck right from the manufacturer doesn't mean its snake oil. I Personally can testify about the FASS system, high flow mufflers, and even the Pitts Power box. There are many products that work, but many more that don't. Yes I will be the first to admite that I bought a Turbo 3000 and that it doesn't work...at least on my C-15 Acert. The OEM's are only in business to build and sell trucks with the highest profit in mind. They aren't gonna go out and spend the money to buy the rights to a product that will improve the life of a truck.

A good example is my C-15 Acert. The motors are known for having fuel flow issues that will cause the injectors to fail by either to much heat in them, water being passed through them, and the biggest is airation in the fuel. The solution would be for CAT to buy the rights to the FASS or design as similar system. But if they did then they would cut their own throat when it comes to parts and labor sales down the road. Every manufacture on the market has some issue that can be solved by an aftermarket product. The problem is weeding out the snake oil to find the needle in the haystack.

 

Well those engine makers do put millions of dollars into research and development. If a system actualy lived up to it's name I am sure that they would at least look at it? Look at intermintant wipers.. A guy invented it patented it and a car manufacturer bought the patent.. (Can't remember which one)... Why... It worked, and people wanted it....

 

Gonzo, I do agree with ya to a certain point. Now a days the engine and truck manufacturers are only worried about two things-profit and meeting the epa guidelines. They don't care about some of the aftermarket stuff bacause it would cause the vehicle to fail a emissions test. Even though the motor seems to run easier and has higher mpg they won't buy the patent and install it. Why, cause of the emissions standards.

 

I'm not a believer of the fass system either. there has been mixed results reported and the best conclusion I can come to is that it seems to do something for older mechanical motors but electronics seem to be on the fence
