My old truck with its carbureted engine probably has some of the lowest running electrical loads of any vehicle on ecomodder, short of an old VW diesel.

To improve the TEG's contact with the exhaust tubing it would be beneficial to change over to square SS tubing and strap them on with stainless steel hose clamps, and of course they would need big ol' heat sinks on them, or else mill aluminum stock with a flat face on one side, and a half-circle on the other, to attach to the existing tubing.
