FOR MEN ONLY .... however we love our women so much lol What costs more, a woman or a swimming pool? ... I would say there is no difference, both are expensive for the time spent in them....😂 -
For sure its been the theme of any high profile vehicle to really suffer with fuel mileage the faster one goes. That isn't to say a fairly aerodynamic car isn't affected as they are but not to the extent a pickup is and big heavy LT tires with many plies takes power to flex vs a thin P rated tire. I've never driven a diesel pickup enough to have taken notes as per a turbo diesel pickup to get a reading of the turbo boost on flat ground with an empty pickup at various speed increments but I expect it would show up on the gauge. Highway tractors certainly do and lets say its pulling an empty grain trailer so the same wind resistance is there but its not dragging that massive weight, exact same area of a highway and same direction and no wind and its amazing the difference on the boost if one is going 70 vs 65 and then 60 and then down to 55 ... its just putzing along with the boost WAY down at 55 as its not working the engine at all but get to 70+ and the boost is much higher and it takes fuel to make boost. A non turbo gas engine as no tattle tail to let one know how much power/fuel is being asked of it. So pulling a high profile fifth wheel RV trailer would just amp that wind resistance factor right up there and people used to drive slow with such units because pickups didn't have a fraction of the power that todays turbo diesel pickups have to ever think of driving fast or passing a turtle on the road !. I bet if the tires were pumped up hard like I hate to do because of the ride and our crap roads, and if driving along a flat straight highway near the coast ( sea level ) and puttering at 55 mph consistently, that's where the fuel mileage would take that extra jump up. Not a realistic scenario for most people but no doubt that would be the trucks happy place for the least fuel used. -

I just purchased 4 new aluminum wheels. The tech at the chevrolet dealer used a grinder to clean the rotors to make them clean and flat again. the Rotors had been installed 4 days earlier, There is transfer from the aluminum wheel to the rotors. -

I thought my dryer was shrinking my clothes. Turns out it was the refrigerator.
