Re: POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR BETTER MPG
This technique was posted on a previous thread... but it works! If you're wanting to get outstanding MPG everyday, you have to try the EGG technique. Stick the EGG under the gas pedal, and drive. Now, if you break the EGG, you're pushing your truck to much. Easy does it on the pedal, know your pressure on the EGG, and you'll save lots of $. Try it today.

The egg keeps rolling out from under the gas pedal and back under my seat. Does the egg method involve use of duct tape to keep it in place?

Re: POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR BETTER MPG
Does the egg have to be raw, hard boiled, or cooked over easy?

Re: POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR BETTER MPG
Another way to improve fuel mileage.
Obtain:
1/2 pound of C4
Pressure switch
Relay
Wire
Place the C4 under the driver's seat.
Wire the relay terminals 87 to B+, terminal 30 to the C4, terminal so that when the internal relay switch closes, B+ goes to the C4.
Wire terminal 86 to B+, then wire terminal 85 to one terminal on the switch, and the other terminal of the switch goes to ground.
Place the pressure switch approximately 1/4 inch below the accelerator pedal. Give the driver a great incentive NOT to press the accelerator pedal down past this 1/4 inch.

Re: POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR BETTER MPG
I kinda like the displacement on demand thingy...So-Go pull the plug wires on cylinders 1,2,5+6. Instant double of your fuel economy. Put em back on B4 wheeling for max power.

maybe you could get an old choke pull switch and rig it up so that it pulled the appropriate plug wires off when you pulled on it and put them back on when you pushed the choke back in.
Get going on the interstate, pull the choke out and voila', DOP (displacement on pull)

Re: POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR BETTER MPG
Hey guys... I appreciate the comedy but the reason why I posted this thread was for the purpose of gathering information to evaluate first hand as to whether this manufacturers' claims have any validity, and to share same with all because there have been many other threads posted looking for methods to improve mpg. Personally, I want the best of both worlds and if I can get it I will - and that is to own and operate this great rig and to improve HP and MPG at the same time! To each his own. Look forward to future replies. Thanks!

That would be a good incentive for the uneducated, but you forgot one very important part to make it real.

Re: POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR BETTER MPG
there's a guy in the H3 section with the best solution. Get you some corrugated piping, cut a hole in the front end to pipe in some air for ram air.
