    Take the thing off and run at the same speed for a week or two and see what your numbers look like,......

    I would guess you'd use your time for something other than putting the vodo back on the truck,....

    Whatever caused your increase it wasn't the 3000.....it's own instructions and explanations say you won't see an overnight increase that it will take up to 25k miles....

    Yeah, I'm one of the dumba$$es who bought one a long time ago. I thought it was cheap enough, what the h3ll?? Well, after three years of running both with and without it AND SEEING ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE in ANYTHING, I took it off for good.

    I decided to cut the stupid thing in half lengthwise to see what was inside of it. There's NO WAY it can work. It just has a bunch of tabs welded inside of it. It can't possibly do what they say it does.

    Oh, yeah, I ran the exact same run, pulling the exact same loads, for THREE YEARS without seeing ANY difference. I feel I did a pretty thorough test of the idiotic thing.

    Oh, I still have it, too. I welded the halves onto a post that leads into my one of pastures. I got tired of chasing the gate in the wind, so I welded one half near the top and one half near the bottom to make the gate only open one way. It does a #### fine job as a gate stop, but it did sheeyat to save me any fuel:yes2557:

    Logically true at least. It is relatively inexpensive. It could easily pay for it self in a week or two if it did what it claims.

    Real simple easy to understand answer.

    If they have to advertise it on the radio and in magazines then it must be a scam. If it worked like they advertise then they would not need to advertise so much because it would be advertised by word of mouth from drivers who have had success with it. I have not had anybody who has had it very long say to me that it worked and been able to back it up with proof.

    Some guys may not have it installed correctly, that maybe why they aren't seeing any improvement in fule milage. 2007 387 Peterbilt C-15 turbo 3000d 65mph 6.0-6.6mpg// increase from 4.6-5.3mpg// proper fuel flow directional->
