ECT button is a TUNE.

I have a really bad habit with my truck since I live at 5200' and it's anemic. Whenever I need to go faster, I push that pedal to the right down a little bit. Sometimes, that poor little pedal is all the way to the floor mat when I need power to do something. Sometimes my truck runs at like 4k rpms for several minutes. It's horrific.

 

You just push it down a little bit?
I push it all the way down.

 

Careful. The tongs have side effects on the grill and the water heater.

 

About a dozen years ago when I was living the bachelor life and my propane grill was about 20 years old and full of the greases of a thousand armies, my brother swung through town and we decided we'd bbq some steaks.

Long story short, exactly that meme, plus part of my fence on fire for a brief moment. The grill was non-recoverable.

 

So the fence caught on fire and blew the grill up.

 

I’m sure there was some alcohol involved somewhere in the mix….

 

No, rule #1.
It’s never your fault.

Lightning hit the fence.
The fence caught on fire.
The fire from the fence blew the grill up.

 

If you don’t mind…I might need to use that one day

 

We'll run with that story, yes.

 

I’m pretty good at fabricating stories.
I was a teenager for about 20 years.
I did a lot of stupid stuff.

 

I'm 38 and my brain hasn't figured out yet that I'm still not 24

 

I prefer to drive my truck when it's 115F or hotter outside because the heat makes my engine block more hotter which in turn burns the fuel more efficiently and gives me all the horsepowers that are then converted into lateral energy which is delivered to my transmission at a very high frequency and tells the gears to shift more optimally.
It's science

 

Well shit. I think my Taco is fast and powerful.
Give me that safety helmet and first seat on that short yellow bus Mr.

 

I only use 91 because I am accustomed to hitting the 91 button on all my other cars.
Price difference is only about what a bottle of Coke and a slim jim cost.

 

How uh, how’d the steaks turn out though?

 

My truck absolutely sucks using the ect mode. Seems I can count to 10 before it shifts up. Fuel economy is horrible. Just using any octane over 90 sucks also....less power, constant gear hunting, a hit in fuel economy. My trucks a rocket in comparison with 87 e10 fuel here. Maybe ect is ok for towing big heavy trailers, but its not for my use.
