That's an interesting read, it's a shame they don't offer something for the big truck market.

Thanks for your help it was probably bad fuel. I refilled in Hutchins Tx loves i had 10575 on the odometer went through all 69 and filled up in Joplin i used 66 gallons and my odometer reading in Joplin was 11028 so i traveled 453 miles with 66 gallons that gave me 6.86 WOW i am impressed i smiled so hard when the calculator showed me those numbers. I must say that the trailer was basically empty 2300 lbs but i really hope i get good mileage. Mr haney told me boost levels should drop because im moving more air through engine and it doesn't have to work as hard pushing exhaust out the stacks. the truck is morre responsive and the heavy smoke is gone oil temperature were usually at 180 and this trip they remained at 150 Im gonna need to test truck with a heavier load and see the real results

I was running a 99 FLD120 flat-top with a 235" frame and a 36" sleeper. 3.90 rears, 10spd and set my cruise at 60mph.... I pull empty trailers for 2,700 miles a week. I was getting 8.0mpg before putting on the 6" bull stack, then It went up to 8.5mpg for the 2 mos I calculated it before winter hit.
I just bought a 387 this week to replace the old girl. It has a 3.36 and 13spd so hopefully it will go up even more now
