PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Picture taken when I hit 1,000 miles in November 2009!

 

I remember that price slashing character too. Recently found some old Walmart bags stuffed into a closet that were dark blue with yellow smiley face, those have to be about 20 years old.

 

This was when l was leaving the dealership brand new with mine.

 

I ordered A 2" lift kit! Paid for by my parents as a Christmas present!

 

Holy shit! My truck had 20 miles on it when we drove off the lot!

 

Nice!

 

Yeah it was pretty awesome seeing only 1 mile on it.

 

But your truck had almost 400...?

 

I was reading the MPG estimator thing...

 

Easy mistake

 

Do you think there's something wrong with my truck that's causing my gas mileage to suffer, or do you think I'm just a leadfoot and the fact that gas contains so much ethanol doesn't help matters...?

 

Probably a combination of all of the above, if you get new tires to go with the lift then get an alignment too to make sure you are rolling straight down the road.

 

Hi Charlie

 

Last month, I ended up having a conversation with a couple of guys in a new Ford F550 rollback while were we both stuck at a really long light; The passenger told me he'd had a truck just like mine and that he'd achieved up to 36 MPG by installing a device called a hydrogen bubbler that mounts next to the gas tank. He said it was really easy to install; Has anybody heard of such a device, or installed on on their truck?

 

I'm probably not getting new tires until August or September, but I'll definitely have Pete realign the truck after he installed the lift.

 

I've allowed my truck to get low enough that the warning light came on just one time; I rarely ever let it get below a quarter of a tank anymore, and I track the distance I've travelled using the trip odometer. The farthest I've ever gone before filling up that I can remember was about 240 miles...? On this occasion, the fuel gauge was just below a quarter of a tank, but I have a feeling my calculations are not entirely accurate because I burn some gas while sitting in traffic or just idling with the A/C on...

 

Good deal buddy!

 

Have you heard of a hydrogen bubbler?

 

No, not that l can recall, what does it do?

 

Supposedly connects to the gas tank and improves mileage substantially...
