you think i could meet you on the way to save on gas?
i'll bring donuts!
american trucks are aero-toilets. i had a 71 VW bus 1600cc gas NA
and i could squeeze it to 29mpm
although a brick it had a hint of aerodynamsim, and it didn't have
4 pistons scratching around in their sleeves. once we get there could you conduct a clinic for us? i would love to learn your driving technique.
my 240D gets 30 and my jetta with a 30 year old diesel gets 70.
with your help i could go 80 - i can't wait.
Not sure whats under the hood but it should be efi get a MPGuino and learn to drive the truck with the least amount of throttle input as possible.
fully mechanical diesel. it might have an OBD plugin but no info from the engine to feed it.
loose the running boards or remount them as side skirts. make sure the clutch fan isn't locked up, start with a grill block and flush head light covers, fastback bed cover, so on and so on.[/QUOTE]
all parasites will be fumigated, variable grill choke is in the conceptual stages
it will have twin bosh eurovan electric fans.
how would you design/fab a fastback. what angles would you use on a
flatbed?
