Adrenaline half report

Well I was going to wait till I had better test results, but just dont have the time. Got it installed cause I just didn't have the time or place to do it my self with the snow and cold temps dropping.

First Mileage test was about 90 miles (65-75 mph) through the canyon between Helena and Great falls Montana. rolling hills and such. STOCK truck (no tune) I understanad 90 miles isn't the best test, but that is what I had to work with and I got 14.5 mpg. so I was acutally surprised with the stock truck. granite it sucked on the hills cause with no tune the truck is just no fun really (as many of you know) to drive.

after install of Dieselsite's Adrenaline Pump I did notice Better starts even in the cold which made me happy cause Montana winters can be kind of chilly. so I will see how it does as it gets to single digits. and when I press the go pedel it seemed to have better response. so there is a noticeable difference with new pump.

So I took a short trip to get my in bed tank full of oil (I burn VO) so this might not be a true MPG test cause I added 100 gallons in the bed on my way back. and the other bad thing is I had my diablo tuner in the 60 hp tune. so that is why I think I might get wrong #'s. and with a shorter drive of 67 miles round trip even less acurate.
but with my #'s I got 17.2 mpg on this trip I am happy cause I am about to head on a trip.

Now mind you folks, that me doing a mileage check is really rare cause when I road trip I burn VEGGIE OIL that is free. so why would I burn diesel if I dont have to? but I thought i would pass on a good REP to Dieselsite and what they have to offer. Good all around.

I did take off my HPX line cause the the new HPOP does it for you, so if you know of any one that wants one or needs one PM me and I can get it off my self for I wont need it any more.

as for up-grading my tuner, yeah well that is in the works. its on the list, but such as life there are many things on the list of things we need. lol

Thanks for the info. I'm diggin' my Adrenaline but at 164k I'm pretty sure my injectors are about done for... which means single shots & new tuning... ugh. BUT, I know my Adrenaline will support whatever I throw in there without being overkill, so it's one heck of a product for me. Glad yours is working out well for you!!

Hey, why not add a signature so we know your name & details of your rig?

Yeah I have 206k on the clock, and have only replaced one injector since I have owned the truck. but somes to be running just fine. I am happy with my new mod. and yes if I add anything down the road its just one less thing to worry about.

my HPX is already spoken for now so that was quick.
