Moose Hunt

Just got back from a long road trip from hunting. Drove 1720 miles and averaged 21.6 mpg Can.Best tank was 23.5. Most of time i was running at about 1800 rpms. Although i detected a little turbo surge once in a while other than that truck ran great. Would a slightly large BBTurbo cure that or just change the compressor wheel? I do have bigger sticks with the stock wheel. Oh yea got a nice 7x8 bullwinkle that dressed out and skinned at just over 520 lbs. Now for the deer season! Roy

Right on! Congrats! I just got back myself. First day 45mins into the morning and a 7X6 Bull standing there waiting for me. We tried for another 5 days for #2 and no luck, so came home. Drove 2000kms there and back, got about 450kms / 100L with the mods you see below. (Towing 13000Lbs).

I have Jody's 60HP and 40HP tune, and didn't really see a big difference in EGT's with either. I got a stick, so it was easy to stay in 6th Gear (And it accelorated on the hills) but on the bigger hills I had to downshift ONLY because of EGT's.
