Well let me know when (if) you're willing to part with that rear end

 

You'll be first on the list.

 

nice work on the airflow..welcome to the club

i'm a fan of my ultragauge...great display and allows calibration for the tire/gear differences. i never use look at my speedo anymore, my eyes always look for my UG.

 

35's should put you right at 10% off, so it's easy to calc in your head...

40 = 44
50 = 55
60 = 66
70 = 77....

Basically, I drive so my speedo is going the speed limit, as I've found the cops won't bother you going 10% over (results may vary).

 

Thanks! I'm digging the snorkel.

I actually misspoke earlier and realized I have a UG not an SG. I need to calibrate it.

I have no issues with the speedo, I use the 10% rule too. I'm more concerned with honest MPG.

 

with 34s, 4.56 gears and manual, my ratio is around 94-95% i believe to give you a starting point..i could check later

 

95% of the total mileage?

 

Matt, where did you order your Airflow from? I'm having trouble finding it on their "Authorized Retailer" sites.

EDIT - I finally found it on Expeditioneers' and Rocky Road Outfitter's sites at $460. Did you find it anywhere cheaper?

Matt

 

yea you go into distance calibration and reduce the mileage until you get around there...then adjust to a gps to get more accurate.

note: if you haven't reset your trip in over 10,000 miles, do not mess with the distance calibration....it'll fuck your settings up

went to go check my number for you and unfortunately it was close to 20,000 miles since i last reset my trip and the calibration tops off at 9999.0 so when i hit enter to get out of the screen, it set my calibration to .554...no where near where i wanted

so a good way to do it if you have time, get a gps out, reset trip on both the UG and GPS then drive....then you can calibrate to actual mileage and get an accurate setting.

when i last calibrated mine i got on the highway, set the cruise and played with my calibration until the MPH was close to the GPS...i was within +/- 1mph until i just jacked my calibration up

 

$460 is what I paid for it. Expeditioneers was out of them so I ordered through TRDParts out of Texas.

 

Roger that. Thank you!

 

Gotcha, thanks. I think I may actually get a snorkel, despite me always telling myself that I shouldn't want to cut a 4'' hole in a perfectly good fender. Might as well if I'm going to cut up the bedsides for a H/C anyway

How do you like it so far? Any performance/MPG changes? And the install looked fairly easy from your post but was anything out of the ordinary?

Matt

 

The truck feels peppier with it. Not sure on MPG since I run through a tank yet.

Install is totally straight forward. The only part that was a PITA was cutting out part of the fender pillar. It ws hard to get something back in there to cut the metal. I also used a hammer to make the intake hole into the engine just a little bit bigger since the tube didn't want to fit in there.

 

Gotcha. Did it come with instructions besides the template? Are the only other members with the Airflow Spoon and Bob?

Matt

 

Yes, it comes with a pretty detailed instruction pamphlet.

Not sure on who else has one besides those two.

 

Nice snorkle Matt. Someday mine will have one too.

 

Thanks Randy!

 

Sub'd for future reading, stupid day job.

 

I feel your pain. Need to hit the lotto!

 

I would just like to point out that in a couple years I will have a Barcelona Red version of your truck. The only thing I can think of that you don't have that I want is a roof rack.

x2 on that lotto business. I buy tickets from time to time and for some reason I am always shocked when I don't win. haha
