Mostly highway driving, had real bad cross winds for about 200 miles.
Kept it under 70 almost all the time.
Carrying about 400 pounds of tools and spare tire, also did a move.
Pulled the trailer for about 20 miles loaded down with 860lb of steel.
Need to pull all the tools out.

The thin air part of the drive, plainview to clovis.
Kept it under 70mph drove it easy.
I should have got better fuel mileage this tank than the last one, drove slower and had less cross winds, must be the thinner air. |

Testing out my new air dam. Drove it hard down hill on my standard 6hr drive.
Speeds on the highway trips were as high as 90mph with plenty of time at 75+, trying to break in the air dam.
About 30 of those 290 miles were driven in town.
Had a good cross wind going the entire way.
Noticed with the air dam the front end is less twitchy in cross winds. At 65mph the truck was trying to run about 5 degrees cooler.
Running 5psi of boost or more the whole way. |

this was pulling the trailer empty back from roswell, driving normal speed 65mph and faster.
Got home late last night. Put the 3.5'' inter stage compressor piping on and drove to the gas station for the last 10 miles or so of this tank.
Had dump all 15w-50 weight mobil1 SJ rated bike oil I had into my engine due to a turbo oil line leak at the start of this fill up in roswell.
It was still almost a quart low.
Going to top off with good old 5w-40 rotella.

Here is a good long sample of the suburban pulling the trailer loaded down with house hold goods for a move.
One way full to the point where I couldn't see out the rear view mirror, the way back was empty.
Went over some mountians, the loaded trip had bad head winds. The return trip had calm winds.
Got my 3 and 3.5 inch piping to replace the lame 2.5'' piping between the T76 and HE351VE. Should be installed half way through next tank.

Winds were calm, for once.
Next day I drove normal speed 60-70mph for the last 10 miles on that fill up.

After the mountians I was driving around thunderstorms creating strong cross winds. |

This was the first tank all with the new dual turbo setup and intercooler.
I was not driving it easy. Did some flogging on the new setup. Ran it hard multiple times to see the max boost and EGTs this setup would produce.
Had cross winds on and off driving around west texas thunder storms.
Still have warm underhood air going to the air cleaner (cool air would be ideal) and low intercooler air flow.
Filled up with regular diesel for the next tank. |
