I run a full grill cover in the cold,seems to keep the heat in on the highway,I don,t know if you could do that ,because of your inter cooler usually this is a no no,on big trucks anyway,but a partial cover would prob. make a huge dif.

 

Mine is a two piece.
I can slide 1/2 of it open and closed according to usage.
The open/close setup in in front of the trans cooler.
With an IC you stuff cardboard behined the cooler.

IAT + EOT = EBPV.
But seem to remember possible use with GP on time. Not shure.

OK.
GPR will remain on up to ONE MINUTE after starting to aid in smoke control.
If your dash lights "flutter" or "flare" you're looking at something else, like a bad headlight switch, or a crappy ground somewhere.

Starting the truck on one tank of fuel, driving it on another tank of fuel has told you one thing, a cold engine takes more fuel to run.

You're not saving anything by doing this. You're running through the front tank at a faster RATE, but your running the rear tank a LONGER INTERVAL. So you're skewing your fuel economy results.

Fuel economy falls in the winter time due to lack of heat. Less heat in the engine makes it use more fuel. Other fluids; trans, differential, t/c thicken up and produce more drag. Fuels change to more "light ends" so they atomize and evaporate faster in low temperatures, but these also burn quicker, resulting in less "work" being done by the fuel.

I'd advise do what I did... change from 15W40 mineral to 5W40 synthetic.

Change where you're buying your fuel. Different refiners can make a difference on how the fuel "works" Use a fuel Conditioner (Power Service, Stanadyne, etc)

Untill I can get the driveline fluids changed, I'm stuck right there.
I went from mid-15's, to less than 10 (see link), back to around 11.5mpg

 

Do we need an EOT mod ?..

I have an extra pot...

 

Thought has crossed my mind along with a set of custom 75,80cc AA's
Everyone builds bigger inj's. I would like to see what it would do with smaller.(MPG wise)

i run a screen that i made that has teeth on it i will try and post a pic soon i run it year round spring and fall it keeps the bugs and leaves out in winter it keeps the snow out and helps warm her up a little but mine runs cold year round it might the stupid k/n set up i have

 

why would you get better mileage from using one tank for start up and driving

 

MADVAN, what kind of oil temps are you seeing with a 203 and a grill cover?
I have yet to install the 203 but I am running a grill cover.

An EOT would great but how would you do it?
It would have to be electrical.

 

the only eot mod i can think of is adding a resistor inline to advance you injector timing, but you may have to add a switch to manually control your gp's so they arent on alot because adding the resistor will make the pcm think the oil is colder then it is.

 

It seems there is some confusion as to why I performed this test.
This test was performed to show the diffirence in cold start updriving versus normal operating temp driving. It was obvious that there is a diffirence, but to actually show by how much.
Hopefully I didnot confuse to many people.
