<p>[QUOTE="Long FLD, post: 11309341, member: 160797"]Keep in mind that back when this project was built fuel was pretty high priced and you didn’t have stock trucks pushing 8-9+ mpg out of the box. They had some good ideas about the truck but many things just weren’t cost effective in my opinion. Spending a bunch of money to Microblue every bearing on the truck when it was never proven what kind of mileage gain could be had from doing it. Bunch of stuff that cost a lot for a minuscule gain. Then when things started going wrong Rutherford and Pittsburgh Power washed their hands of the situation and walked away. I’d be curious whatever happened to the truck and how the owners handled all the problems.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
