    I think i got a bad batch this tank. I like to use the more expensive places, I find I get better mpg then the cheaper places. Last time I filled was a 7-11

    Lol, that rake is way too much, but that chevy.bulldog/bro lean is just something I'll never like, I wouldn't like driving that either, how the fudge do you see over the direct front of the truck?!

    Sometimes I get premium or super gas, but I think it gets burned up quicker?

    Your truck will run best and get the most hp on 91 octane. The ECM will detune itself to run on 87

    no, it won't

    our engines aren't optimized for higher compression like engines that require 91
    the ECU would adjust for the 91, but you won't see much, if any gains from it

    Just the 4.0. The 4.0 is designed to run on 91 octane. But it will sense detonation and detune itself to run on 87 octane. It just doesn't get as much mpg or power

    hahah that rake is just the flexed out rear suspension itll sit much lower especially since its on coils. Ive never understood how the hell you could see with that much lean!

    I'd rather have a little bro-lean than rake. But I didn't want 3 in the front and none in the back

    First gens aren't. The 4.0 is designed to run on 91 octane

    Look it up. Plenty of threads on here. The 4.0 runs best on 91 octane, it's actually what is recommended for that engine. But it will detune to run a lower octane fuel

    holy shit, I didn't even see what thread Im in. lol
    didn't mean to stir shit


    2nd gen FSM states 87, but there's a note that 91'll "help"

    never seen a dyno for that claim though

    Yeah ive seen that it does say for more power at 91 but not 93. Now I wonder which one will actually be healthier for the engine the 91?
