    ...too much shit to list.
    I wouldn't call him a noob. More like a random who's just trying to pedal his FS website without the decency of creating his own thread.

    So according to my ultra gauge I'm getting 22.3 mpg on average, which I wish is true but is definitely not the case. How do i calibrate it correctly?

    I have been watching posts about UG and how to calibrate it, how it calculates, etc. Thought I'd go to the source.

    http://www.ultra-gauge.com/customer_support/knowledgebase.php?article=15

    Note it states error bars as big as +- 13%.

    There is a download on there site and it tells you how. You pretty much drive 3 miles at +55 and then tell the ultraguage you drove 3 miles so then it accurately records distance. Go to there site.

    Mine says 21.7 but I usually get 18-19 when I divide miles by gallons used when I fill up.

    Welp it looks like i should do ball joints, any major reason why i shouldn't go aftermarket? (Moog or similar? ) aftermarket ones were fine on my 5lug but after seeing pictures of some of the failures on 6lug trucks...

    As I didn't take pictures during the install of the 7th Inj, I went out and snapped one after the fact:

    DSC_0664_zps15c6a022_0ab7e497fa54dc2501952765a504ccce9d6b2134.jpg

    Maybe this weekend I'll crawl back up in the engine compartment and snap one of the actual injector.

    I calibrated my UG and it is dead on accurate as far as mpg, trip and mph. I have checked it against Fuely and the pencil for mpg and 3 different GPS units for mph and trip.

    When calibrating miles driven, I drove on the loop here for 15 miles and then double checked it on the return trip to verify.
