South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Don’t speak of the rain...

 

You don’t happen to have a spring compressor do you? I need to get my front struts assembled.

 

No, I am going to have to find someone myself when my shocks get here

 

I think I’m gonna go rent one from the parts store today. Should be ok, I hope lol

 

RIP......



let me know if it works out and I may end up doing the same.

 

Bogi is trans?

 

That is just down the road from me. I've run a lot of forest service roads around these parts, but never seen that one. Want!

 

If it dried up I'd be down.
Not dragging my junk thru that slop.

 

Silly question, but would bad O2 sensors affect MPG?

 

Absolutely.

 

Is it running rich or lean? Can you tell?

 

Probably 3-4mpg you are losing.

 

Torque app and an obdii reader

 

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.
