Drastic aerodynamic truck threads!?
 

Looking for your favorite projects to see whats been done on trucks around here. After much deliberation I purchased a 91 reg cab ram 250 5.9l cummins turbo diesel 2wd. I drove it home in the pouring rain with underinflated tires, and a contractors topper that sticks up about a foot above the cab. I still was able to get 24mpg without really doing any kind of hypermiling other than driving slowish (55-60 mostly), so that encourages me that 30mpg will be a likely attainable early target. My long term goals include a custom aero cab and tonneau cover along with all the drivetrain/engine affiliated eco tunings. Please feel free to post any/all info that you think I might find interesting. Thanks to everyone that makes this community what it is. :D

Also: I need to name it. So feel free to post suggestions. Its blue with silver trim and rides super smooth, and also the engine sounds beautiful.

Search for aerohead's T100, and Bamzippow's truck as well. Both are great examples of what can be done.

The under side of pickups and vans are very bad aerodynamicaly with all kinds of things hanging down... I suspect that the under side is the place to start.

My E.S.P.(extra sensory projection) is working perfectly today! I just traded in my Ford Aspire for a Ford Ranger PU. When putting it in the EM garage and asked about future plans: my only ecomodding plans were to add a bellypan.
