South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

I’ve noticed a smell coming from the exhuast when I’ve warmed it up in the morning but I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. Smells a little rich now that I think about it. But I’ve been reading that people with the similar lift, wheel, and RTT setup as me are getting better MPGs than me. I JUST thought of the O2 sensors being an issue, and they are more than likely stock.

 

No CEL and I have a ScanGuage II hooked up constantly.

 

Can you see your O2 readings? Better yet graph them? Watch scannerdanners videos on O2 sensors

The upstream O2s are what along with TPS, MAF, Knock, and other sensors are inputs for the ECU to control fuel trims. If one or more of those are sluggish or not reading correctly it can affect fuel mileage and fuel ratios pretty good. Like what @Sandman614 said if you can look at the O2s on your scanguage and see their movement you'll be able to tell if they are sluggish or not or stuck, if the refresh rate of the scanguage is fast enough. They can also be stuck in a very narrow band and not moving enough. A lot of times they won't throw codes for this sort of thing.

 

Laying in the sun and sippin jack and coke for the next week. Much needed vacation down south!

 

Awesome! Way to depress the rest of us though! Everyone else STFU!

 

Just finished smoking a Tri-Tip...still have a pork tenderloin on then will be throwing on a spatchcocked chicken.

 

Hahaha sorry! Belize, Honduras and Mexico for a week, my wife is the best. Here I thought I was gunna be doing touch up on the house and moving in and she surprised me. Got ahold of my boss and got me off for the week. Been working 45-50 hours a week at work and another 40-45 on the house. I feel like @SOS CONCEPTS working that many hours haha. Will be good to soak up the sun and booze for a week.

 

That looks amazing. I got a batch of wings brined up that I was gonna smoke, but that thing needs to be cleaned. Gonna heat up the deep fryer instead.

 

Nice! I think I'm around 91 hrs right now. Shop time.
A body at rest, stays at rest.
Pay the price today, to pay any price tomorrow!

 

a project for later this spring, get to find out what damage a teenage driver did to this transplanted Turbo Diesel into an ‘85 ExCab. Drive train is from a Japan spec truck, about ‘94-‘95 ish. still trying find info, there is no US market or info on these apparently.

 

There is for those of us that know about them. I wish the US was more into the diesels. I love all the different diesels that are available elsewhere.

 

I didn't realize it's been almost a year since the last time I've been on here. I'm still alive! Hope everyone is doing well!

 

Fun day shooting. Went to the first spot. Got setup and fired one mag off and a bunch of u desirables came up, told us to move closer because they wanted to shoot shot guns. I told them no and they setup their shit in front of us. So we went and packed up and drove another hour to a better spot. I fuckin hate people.

 

Local guy has begged me for awhile now, I got him in today.

 

Chicken is on right now struggling through its last few degrees of temp before I can pull it.

The pork loin turned out great too! Just trying to prep a few meals for the week.

 

People suck.. kinda like your aim! Only 3 hits?!?!?! I kid! Wait “we” who cleaned up the dog mess?!

 

Holy shit that was an option?! I didn’t beg you enough! Looks fucking amazing woulda definitely pulled the trigger on that over a streamline
