Who dug this one up Jimbo ??

Actually, adding a blower CAN net you better mpg's. But, -it can also keep you at the pumps, -if you get carried away.

Built 5.4L's can net as much as 16 mpg's; from what I've read.

 

I don't know, but i had talked **** to someone and then realized the thread was old as hell and they hadn't been on in months so i quickly edited to that worthless response you see now

 

You mean this one -



Actually that's pretty good. Maybe you should do that more often ?



Or maybe I should take a few pointers, - blunt and to the point pointers.

 

If i start being helpful 100% of the time then what good is that to me?

screw all yal, i'll stay worthless with a 10% chance of something useful

 

What is the lifespan of the O2 sensors?

 

It varies. The downstreams can last the life of the truck. Upstreams... depends on the engine condition. Even then, they normally last a long time. My upstreams were original when one went out at 120k.

 

Yep, -right around 100,000 miles.

 

Well, honestly,you can acquire friends. Friends can be a valuable resource. One guy fished thru a junk yard and found a EGR reducer for me, -yea, didn't even ask; he new I was looking for one. -Granted he was going there anyway, but still.... A tech sent me service DVD's, - good ones! Didn't ask, they were offered. I have a list of phone numbers, just from this site. Different people specialize in different areas, so if you get stuck, there's options. There's other perks as well, from time to time.

Most of all, self gratification. You have to like what your doing.

So there's some value there.

 

but what fun is that??

i lost almost 2mpg with my blower

 

Yea, but that's all you

 

Your gas pedal is not adjusted properly for the added weight

 

thats with winter gas too. so maybe once i get used to it, ill see what it gets when i take a long trip.
