I'll get 1100 to as high as 1380 empty on the 310 tune when there is no fooling around. The truck says 999 km to empty when I fill up, just cause it dont go no higher. These numbers are hand calc numbers. The best the truck did on a 100 mile trip with a tail wind was 36.6 on the dash and 34 by hand at 60 mph on the nose.

Wait are your MPGs in kilometers because I notice your speed is? just wondering

I never seen over 50 psi boost towing 17,500 lbs on the spartan 175. Egts stayed around 1000-1100 in overdrive driving 70-80 mph. Although the something was warming up significantly because the safety limits were setting the truck back to stock until the truck was stopped and restarted. Coulda been engine coolant temp or oil temp. They seem to get up in the 210-220 range pulling that much

But hey, I found the limit, let you guys know and now I'm just going to build it stronger!

Good idea if you are gonna relace you might as well make it better!

Hey Mike, I don't think I'll be doing a transmission any time soon. I'm running a deep tranny pan and so far haven't had the fluid even get hot. When I removed the stock pan there was very minimal material found. Also, I don't seem to be having as much slip when the torque converter is locked as most.

I'm sure it will break eventually, but from the looks of things it could be a while.

Oh yeah, and congrads on the TKO vs. Chris Wood
