Guess I was incorrect.......tailgate up is actually better.

 

According to mythbusters, thats telivision entertainment, using 2 different trucks.

 

Didn't you watch the video? Only one truck this time. SEMA is where they are trying to sell something.

 

No I didn't watch and I'm not gonna, believe what you want.

 

So how 'bout mud tires vs ATs vs cheated slicks? 20s and low pro.s vs 16s and tall tires? Aluminum vs steel rims?

 

Highway tread will give best milage, unless mythbusters says otherwise

 

here is one that may scare some

running without the fan...

currently for the past 3 weeks i have been running with may cooling fan sitting on my back seat. i have only just got my odometer working again a few days ago so i dont know the actual improvements yet.

what i do know is that i got three more days out of my tank. i have a very routine rout that i take to and from work. it used to be that i would fill up about every two weeks. the last tank gave me two weeks + 3 more days. new odometer tells me this is 75 more miles.

i will have to run this for a few more weeks to see what it comes out to.

now i know some of you are thinking "you must be nuts, running with out your cooling fan" but i assure you that this is safe under the right conditions

i rarely tow or haul loads, this is my DD. the temps have never exceeded 190 degrees. even when idling in traffic. i dont know if this will still hold true in the summer but with the fan within arms reach and easy to install, i will run this for a bit longer to see the results

so far i love how much quieter the engine sounds with out that thing whipping up all of that air under the hood.

 

Might want to scrap it and go with an electric fan

 

That'll help AC operate in stop and go traffic. Of course, going without AC might help mileage, but some places you don’t want to show up sweaty and smelly.

 

I don't wanna go anywhere without ac when it's hot out, milage isn't that important to me
