Well. I broke the 2000 post mark on cumminsforum today

I"ll got delete some to keep you down in newbie class.

[PToombs]

Pete, why not make hydraulic lines? You ARE a heavy equipment tech

Probably never crossed his mind.

Yes it did, I decided not to because of the quick coupler things up front, no good way to couple to them. I also thought about just getting 300psi hose and using that on it, but then I have to fasten it up somehow. Today I went to NAPA and bought 5 feet of 1/2" trans hose at $5 a foot to patch it up until the new lines get here.

You're just like Caleb now Pete. Blaming your trucks problems on completely innocent people. Next thing you know you'll be buying a Ford, and coming out of the closet

Never going to happen! I may come out, but I'll never buy a ford!

Is anybody else procrastinating on Christmas shopping? I haven't even started on mine yet.

Wife does it all, it's one of the few things that she does do. I won't go near a mall after Thanksgiving, and any other store on the weekends!

But I'm so helpful in my post whoring Phillip.

Jetta broke 90K miles on the way home from work this morning. I've got 300 miles on this tank of fuel and I still have more than half a tank left, I'm liking this a lot.

Your up in the FRT section most of the time. Go for it.

[DMan1198]

I've been getting back into being a post whore in the 1st gen section lately too. There's just more uninformed people in the 4th gen section that need correcting.

That's some good mileage Parker. I've been getting 300 miles between fill ups on jaeger, and that's with a 34.6 gallon tank. Jaeger also just turned over 70k miles

[oldestof11]

That's imperial gallons right?

[DMan1198]

Us gallons. I'd say 131 litres, but went to the trouble of converting it to help the lazy

[cmann250]

I'm done bitching about the bad mileage my Ford gets

[DMan1198]

I'm thinking its the winter diesel, and the amount of idling it does now that's hurting mileage so bad. 13.2mpg was the last tank. While I only do 300 miles it's only down to 1/4 tank. I don't like going below that for fuel pump reasons

Fixed that for you

It probably is. The chevy is down to 18 and 17 mpgs right now,that's even using lots of additives.

[RCCUMMINS89]

The economy in the 06 dropped from 17.5 on a stock tune and summer fuel to 16.0 with efi on winter blend. So that tells me it made a big difference being winter fuel.

The RC used to drop anywhere from 3-6mpg on winter fuel, depending on how I had the timing set.

You have winter fuel down there? Do you ever get high temperatures below freezing?

It gets to the teens mostly,but only in January....about middle ways. It's tollerable till the freakin wind comes in. It and the blasted moisture we have will make it cold as hell for awhile. We get just as chapped as you northerners. just no snow to shovel or plow.
