yeah right, guess that explains why your lane departure warning light was on at 110 mph.

 

hey you don't have to explain it to us here but a day will come when you might have to explain it to someone else.

 

He wasn't out of lane and plus he is free to speed as much as he want.

The little green truck is the Lan light and its says he was in the lane, the orange light under the needle is the Traction Control light.

My buddy actually took the picture for me so I could focus on the road haha. And I only got up so fast for the pic and it was a completely open stretch of straight highway.

And at 110 on an open hwy, there's no real point in using your turn signals [emoji23]

They told I'm not driving in a race car, but no one ever told me I couldn't drive it like one [emoji57]

On my way home after sitting in about 30 minutes worth of bumper to bumper traffic getting out of the city, I found myself on some open highway, so I made up for the lost time [emoji6]

I have the Diablo Intune I-1000. I used it to disable the speed limiter and do a few other things.

Stock tune governs it to like 98

Here's to a fresh start, supplier pricing and Truck Month. Plan to level, body color or black out the chrome bits, and get BAKflip F1.

I woulda liked to see what your instant mpg meter was reading at 110.

Me? I've checked that before when I first turned off the speed governor. These trucks drop off pretty quick after 70-75 MPH. I'm basing all these numbers I'm about to throw out off memory and the temps outside were warm, little to no wind blowing, and had premium unleaded gas in the truck. Mods that could've had an effect on mileage were: it was leveled, 18" magnaflow, stock tires and rims, air valence was installed, tonneau cover, and AFE Power CAI

MPH -- MPG

60 -- 30-32mpg

70 -- 23-24mpg

75 -- 18-20mpg

80 -- 16mpg

90 -- 14mpg

100 -- 13mpg

110 -- 11 mpg

 

These are the numbers I remember seeing. I had a lot of clear ground so i would jump up a few MPH and then keep it like that for about a minute or so and reset the trip odometer to see what kinda mileage I got over he course of the 1-2 miles I would travel in that time.

If you ask me, I think those numbers are pretty impressive for a truck this size at those speeds!

    • Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.   
    • I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future. 
    • Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it. 
    • Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me. 
    • $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
