Yes I saw the video on YT it was a very simple procedure. Noticed it mentioned a few times on mod lists & looked it up. I just haven't had the time between Wife ,Kids,work and general life.It's on my list

Thanks for the heads up though!! I've been holding the vent release to fill the vent tube and yes it takes 2 gallons after the normal stop.

Any updates? ABA data?

Hi Diesel_Dave,

I tested a couple times and really couldn't get a solid set of runs. too many people cutting me off for doing the speed limit...making me unset the cruise. pretty crazy.Sorry I didn't have a good answer.

I will say that my normal 550 mi per tank has increased to near 600. With the air intake mod W/O the block. When I say normal = not hypermiling. I really need to hypermile a tank to see if it will beat my best.I feel very confident I will.

But you do feel that the ram air helped (by itself)?
