    I did a search and found no really recent information . The TA is running an ad for $229 installed with a fuel filter . Called the folks at Turbo 3000d and of course they say it's gonna save me 10% . Just wanting some real world opinions of the product on a Detroit Series 60 ( 2006) 14.0 L

    I was wondering that myself. I was also wondering why some of the "BIG" fleets (with 15k trucks) aren't using this product. if they don't/won't save 10% on their fuel bill, I suppose something isn't right

    Because they get such great deals on fuel from Pilot! :D lol. The drivers I've talked to that run those don't get anywhere near ten percent, some loose mpg.

    I was given one, tried it and took it off. It didn't work. I think slowing down it the best way to save fuel.

    The Turbo 3000 guy told me it came with a 60 or 90 day money back guarantee he said the avg person sees anywhere from 2/10 to 5/10 improvement but mine would be around 7/10 if I took their 10% number cause I avg close to 7.0 now

    I've heard nothing but bad about the 3000d both on here and out on the road. Same with the aircell the Iowa 80 group is always playing the video on.

    It does nothing they even quit running their ads on xm. Keven Rutherford pushed them for years ,now he wont even mention a turbo 3000d.Take that much money and flush it down the toilet you will get the same results.

    I listen to KR on XM . I was told though that he was in bed with Pittsburgh Power and they didn't want the 3000 on a truck with the FASS System on the KR Signature truck so he dumped the T3000 idea no sure if that's true or not
