Read before messing with full fuel screw
 
Hey guys,
As you can see in my sig i have done some slight mods to the truck 91.5. So i thought it would be cool to turn up my truck about a turn or so and turn down the star-wheel and the smoke screwand turned the fuel cone to the deepest setting. I added a new turbo and 4" exhaust hoping the mph's would even out. Wow i was wrong. Im just a teen driving this truck and for me the smoke was awesome, i loved smoking other people at interseections and all the others diesels in my town couldn't even touch my smoke out-put. The whole time i thought i was getting great fuel mileage but i was wrong again. Turning the pump up just as much as i did gave me around 14-15 mpg. Not good and i have about a 20 mile commute both ways to wendys almost everyday.

So all in all if you wanna keep your 20-24 mpg then dont mess with the fuel settings.

thanks Tony

the best way to get better mileage is to keep you foot out of the thing

Mine gets better mileage turned up too, unless im towing then I get really bad because of the big injectors. That sure hurts the wallet:ouch:
