There is a tractor/truck pull at the Darke County Fairgrounds this Friday at 7:00. Has an 8000lb diesel 4x4 class.

HEY I INSTALLED MY DP TUNER AND I'M GETTING 15 MPG ON 120 HP AND 13 MPG ON ECO AND I GET A PUFF OF BLACK SMOKE WHEN START UP

[99F250Smitty]

How are you arriving at these numbers? Have you driven a full tank in each setting?

I also have read that you are not supposed to start the truck in a tune that you are supposed to start them in stock and then when they get up to temperature you can select whichever setting. All the smoke is, is unburned fuel.

NOT A FULL TANK BUT I'M NOT TRYING TO GET IT TO SMOKE

[99F250Smitty]

The only way to get an accurate mpg estimate is to run the same setting for an entire tank, fill back up and take the miles driven and divide by the gallons it took to fill back up.

Example...... 325 miles, 20 gallons to fill up...... = 16.25 mpg.

It is impossible to get an accurate reading if you have the computer readout.

I WILL RUN THE SAME SETTING FOR A TANK WHEN MY LIGHT COMES ON THATS WHEN I DO IT. IT HAS A 29 GALLON TANK
