That's oversimplified. If you lug the motor, I can promise you won't get better fuel economy. Also, one tank is not even close to determine a real result. To get an accurate assessment, you would have to drive with it on for like 40 tank fulls, then drive with it off for 40. It's impossible to determine if a change did anything just from a 400 mile test. There are too many variables.
I'm a simple guy. :fou:Besides, you can't lug the motor with the transmission in our trucks. It won't let you, hence the hunting for gears. :drive:
I do know that if I'm on the hwy, let off the gas to coast a little, then push on the gas just enough to maintain the new speed, it will unlock the converter, stabilize the speed, then lock it up again. Sounds very much like a downshift but it really isn't. I believe hyper tech makes a box that minimizes this. Could be someone else, can't recall. :dunno:
My ADD won't let me do an assessment that take 40 tanks, much less 2.:hyper: So, I'll let someone else with more patience do that for me. It was good enough for me. :yesnod:
Besides, there's no wayI'd ever get 400 miles a tank anyway:lmao:
