yup, I clay barred my truck today after all the scratches I put in it I dont know why....

Then I was bored so I wired in a 4way 12v adapter thing... Splitter... thing....
Actually worked... After I blew 2 fueses. while I was pulling on the wires I must have moved something now my truck dings when the keys are in it. I never knew they were supposed to do that!

Ill try to find them wires tomorrow. Im pretty seriously about trying to reach this goal of 24mpg just for the hell of it...... even with a 3" lift..... and 33"s

What are you going to do to get 24mpg other than coast?

WELL....... oh boy...

Its way more efficient to keep the throttle the exact same vs driving via cruise control with gas on gas off maintaining a certain speed. A mod some people do is switch the wire from reading the VVS to reading the TPS and maintaining THAT.. You can always wire in a switch in the cabin to go between speed or TPS. I wanted to give it a shot! I already got 22mpg before!

Also when "hypermileing" its almost ALWAYS better to have a higher geared vehicle. Some people swap in gears in transmissions or differentials and larger tires, of course it only works if your not climbing hills and starting and stoping alot.

Im NOT willing to go as far as building a boattail and building wheel caps, but if its cheap simple and practical, doesn't LOOK ridiculous and reversable Im down for it.
