Finished this today and went for a test run. At 60mph on a flat stretch of road without the aerocap the truck was running 20-22% load on the motor per scan tool. With the aero cap under the same conditions the load went down to 17-19%. Does not seem like much until you do the math and find that is aprox 17% reduction in load on the motor meaning increased FE..... BTW...cap materials were free.....used scrap wood and found other stuff on the side of the road on my way home from work one day..... Also cap can be taken apart/put together in aprox 15 minutes.....
