New England B.S. Thread

Thats what my ultragauge tells me im getting, which seems low since every time i look at the instantaneous mpg im like low 20s

 

I get 17 average with my Sierra but the big huge difference is in towing. I would get 8 or 9 mpg towing my 7x12 inline enclosed with the Taco, I get 13mpg towing my new, bigger, taller and much heavier inline. And my butthole doesn't clench up quite so much when the roads get slick.

 

Same here. But the slightest incline cuts that number in half. I'm also pretty sure my exhaust is hurting my highway MPGs.

 

That's the same reason why I want the tow package is to get the extra trans cooler. Its honestly probably over kill more I am thinking about it since right now I really only tow around town, but there are some big hills and I tow mainly in the summer when its hot so IDK. I have a feeling if I do end up with this my cousin might have me tow his camper around with the bigger truck haha

I watched a few videos of the ford spray in liner is kind of chincy so I might just have it lineX'd instead after. I do want to add the factor brake controller since I wont fiddle around with the aftermarket one. I'm taking a look at a truck over at DePaula this afternoon. I told them the options I want so see if they actually have something on the lot.

yeah your just past Williamstown so not to far. If this dealer visit doesn't go anywhere i'll let you know

 

What ya guys doing to celebrate

 

I'm still around 17 with the 285 MTs. But I drive like an old lady

 

Not usually on the highway just around town (still only at 43k miles). What exhaust do you have on it?

I drive like an old lady too and try not to use the brakes.

 

Morning y'all! Molly's flight home from DC last night got delayed due to weather. Instead of landing at 10pm, she landed at 1:30am. Could have been worse, it was originally slated to land at 4am! She said the flight was empty, I'm sure it's because people left the airport or jumped to other, later, flights. Sucks for them!

We are both WFH today. And we are tired and grumpy haha

 

So, let's look at options.
1-find a new job
2-pay close attention to the bosses monitor, take notes and video. If something blackmail worthy doesn't come up, then it's time to make friends with IT folks someone will be able to help you out.
3- convince your boss that productivity goes up when on TW. Which should be very evident by the amount of work you get down when not monitoring your bosses computer usage.

On the plus side, if you boss writes you up, you'll be able to watch it being typed up.

 

I did a drop-in. It was cheap and I figured with an aluminum bed it can't rust out from moisture under it.

I'm on the north side, up on the Stamford border.

Also, with the OEM brake controller some trucks shipped without a fuse or pins in the fuse panel for it if it wasn't ordered factory. I got lucky and mine was fine. There's a thread on the F150 forum about it.

 

It's just the "Williamsburg General Store", right on Route 9 near the Brewmaster, which is a decent restaurant.

 

So far breakfast. Later, maybe go karts.

I don't drive that carefully, but I am easy on the throttle. I used to beat the EPA estimate with 305 all terrain tires.

 

I have a custom Magnaflow setup. First time I've put a different exhaust on a VVT-I engine.

 

Only 1 fill up so far, but no measurable difference. I'll probably have to get gas again today so we'll see if commuting shows any difference.

 

Someone here posted a calibration for it... anyone?

 

I use Fuelly to keep track of my MPGs. Easier than using a spreadsheet.

 

What do you mean calibration for the ug? You can only calibrate based on actual miles traveled and gallons used under the vehicle calibration menu

 

I do as well, then added to my sig.

 

But I can make fancy graphs and figures with a spreadsheet....plus calculate actuals based on oversized tires

 

I used to do Fuelly, but I never got into the habit of logging on to update it, so the information was spotty at best. I just track it from 1 tank to the next these days.
