Well…
Now that gas is five and a half bucks, I don’t think I’ll ever try any of the other tunes. My wife is driving the truck now and has a 12 mile round trip commute.
We just bout a 2021 Ecosport 3 cylinder, 1 liter. I commute in that. Just like that, everything changes. What was important...
Update:
changes/upgrades, MBRP cat back dual out (4 into 1 into 2), AEM dry air filter, 2.5” level, 265/70/R17, 1” wheel spacers, camper shell, running boards.
Some pics so you can see for yourselves.
Traffic is Light on the way to work. I’m 19-20 miles away and 15 miles of it is freeway. I...
So I ended up getting my superchips tonight. It updated easily and I was able to install the economy tune and make the adjustment for the increase in tire size. The transmission shifts normally again the engine sounds very different. I want to see if I can get my mileage back. I know that the...
Even thou I live in Ca, I bought a home in a different state a while ago where I can have this shipped. I’ve been prioritizing funds to my new place but have decided to buy one of these for tire size correction and because I want to know if $600 is the going rate for quality out of the box tunes...
You just made my brain explode. 5% difference in tire size and 5% increase in shown mph equals 5% increase In mpg. Hmmmmmm. Oh… No, I uh…. I almost had it and lost it again. Mmmmmmmmm. I’m Homer Simpson right now. Mmmmmmmmm.
I know. I’m jealous. I’d like to get my tune and speedo adjusted but I bought a retirement home last year and I’ve been spending every extra penny getting it ready. I’m not whining, just redirecting funds. I really wanted the superchips flashpaq for the speedo recalibration and the throttle...
There are a few folks who have tunes, adjusted speedos for bigger tires and air filters and exhaust systems. It’s hard to compete with that.
Pro tip: don’t let your wife drive it.
My wife is either on the brake or on the gas, no coasting. She can’t understand why she gets poor mileage and her...
You have to find the sweet spot. For me, the sweet spot is 59 mph to achieve 23 mpg. I have 265/70/17s and have not recalibrated for tire size adjustment yet. You cannot drive 65 much less in the 70s, at all. With all due respect, if you want more mpg, you have to have an extremely light foot...
The skid marks are in the dirt and not visible but they are there. This all began many yards from where it ended. Rotation and inertia are the cause. Speed, braking at the wrong time, over correcting. It’s all right there. The impact was so significant that the entire bed folded until the frame...
