MPG HELP!!!

Charge air cooler would be my #1 thought. Do a pressure test or just look for a hair line crack. Run some 300° silicone along the crack for a quick fix until you get another one

 

if they ran the overhead a little tight it would lose a little mpg. on a 60 series takes a little time for the overhead to loosen up. plus their is a lot of things that factor mpg. one of the main reason rite know could be blended fuel, along with high idle time.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the top end (overhead) tightened up over time, not loosen up.

It will solve your problems

 

What I'm not the only one that gets 5mpg????

 

Only on a good day I see 5

 

That's how my truck is 4.8-5.2 I did 5.9 today running 400 miles today with a empty trailer new record for me did 3.9 two weeks ago on I-10 heading for AZ grossing 62,000lbs

 

Well when I run the trk at 70+ mph, I usually see my mpg's fall into the 5's. When I do what I normally do, run about 60 mph, day in and day out, I see high 6's or 7's loaded, and 8's usually when DH or empty.

Are you running your trucks hard and fast?

I am not bragging or anything, but I am the one you pass and I am sure complain about driving so slow. I am sorry if I made you mad, but getting to a trk stop 30 -45 mins later than you do, doesn't mean that much to me.

 

No I'm that guy your passing trust me I run SS also
