    I am pulling flatbed. So it's ok to be around 6.5 mpg. But not under.

    Unfortunately I didn't do that by myself because I didn't have tools to perform that.
    Truck dont have power.
    Using fuel more than any other truck what I have. I am desperate. Idk what to do. And I am scared to go in shop because they will start changing parts and that will take me nowhere

    Now I have never heard or seen the Dealer offering bigger injectors for the D13 motor but would be interested in seeing if that was even an option.
    Also only seen the D13 hopped up to 550hp and 1900tq but again maybe someone has done more

    When you drive and is under 35 deg outside does your engine temperature go below 170?

    I had a bad thermostat mine temperature was going down to 130. Engine is not running efficiently at this temperature and the ECU is shooting fuel to warm up the engine.
