datzenmike Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 I got just over 25 MPG on one fill up after Canby but it included all the in town driving there. The rest were 30 and just below with a 32 at Ritzville and a 35!!! at Kalispell Montana. I checked the mileage and the amount of gas X2. My oil cooler has a small leak (there's wetness under it) but engine has stayed full the last two times I checked. Have used almost a quart and about 1,600 miles of travel. 7 Quote Link to comment

hang_510 Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 hail of a good time this year! Met a few people for the first time and for some it had been a long time. Trip up flawless. zero cops 13mpg low (2 tank average @ >85mph) get 19 @ 80avg 23mpg hi Return trip: clutch issues, fluid contaminated, flushed and no prob. 0.99 USB charger failed and let the magic smoke out, cord melted. Then a few minutes later the tach redlines and the msd adapter let's out it's magic smoke. Melted plastic but no fire. 95* in the shade in Modesto. Removed and made the rest of the ride fine. Used a liter and half of oil. Afraid to total the gas. Trip was ~2700mi, won something for it too 5 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 What was your voltage doing before those fried? Maybe your regulator died first 3 Quote Link to comment

hang_510 Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 What was your voltage doing before those fried? Maybe your regulator died firstLighter always 12v and this time(first???) a phone was plugged in during ignition.Added it before Canby and used the same 12v supply the adapter does. Gonna fix that. Rest of system fine, charging as normal. Sent it to MSD to autopsy and possibly replace. Quote Link to comment

Damnit, cuz i only took one big group shot. its ok, we are dicks and it was anti truck year ... So we gleamed the cube in reasons to be left out ....im just happy my last minute tune worked since i hadn't driven it for a year ...the new tires on the rims were way nicer to drive on and th ladder rack didnt hinder my already wide open gas mileage ........ super glad i got to see my friends from down south .... spent to much time in camp out back ... took zero pics 4 Quote Link to comment
