High Miler

Fuel line is frozen. Started fine this morning but I only got to drive about 3/4 of a mile. Kim and the mule saved me!  eagle didn't have enough juice to start.

The Mule is doing work!  Aw yeah!

[mr.mindless]

Yup, now the mule is there instead!

Drove this unit home. Rode my bike to the park to pick up the mule and returned, still idling happily, w fuel pressure. Fuel in the mason jar has liquid water instead of solid. Seems less of an issue!

Done slumming it on the seats. Heated Wet Okole covers ordered. I've had a replacement driver cushion since may of last year... Time to put it in. Might be as long as 3-4 weeks to delivery I guess. Hopefully they're not backed up with xmas gift cert orders.

Fueled and reset things at the rez east of grand island. Overhead was almost to 29mpg at one point before climbing out of Hamilton, I drove careful and got it back from a 27.5 low to 28.1 arriving here in London about 130 miles later.

Wonder how much of a lie that is.

Actual number upon fillup this morning: 19.9

overhead was saying 26.9 at the time.

I don't think I get to say this anymore

Worst it's been at fillup is 15% off.

Fuel gauge was accurate the entire time, zero issues.

ya 19-21 empty is about all you will get out of a 5.9 no matter what morons in the web say

mine gets 35mpg towing 76k!

I should check my mileage by hand one of these days.

[mr.mindless]

I hand calc every tank. habit from my parents. And log it all. Because I'm a data nerd.

I even do it on the Eagle, which has no trip meter (that's REALLY annoying, especially with the needle swing that fuel gauge has and how nice it would be to know miles on the tank at a glance)

I've seen 17 actual several times, usually with the overhead saying 17 (except once when it said 13.. So I was hoping this could be higher. I'm curious what threw it off, and if I was significantly better westbound when I was only doing 65 than on the return doing 70+

Fun games to play. I can't complain about 20mpg in this thing. It may yet steal the title for favorite vehicle from the Jetta. And yes I liked the Jetta better than the Dumpbus overall.

[etk300ex]

better than the mule?

[mr.mindless]

way better.

Arb misbehaving. Frozen into my street parking spot at Kim's.

Fed it some extra air pressure since I'm trying to lock an ice cold diff. Think I may have screwed up the solenoid. It's leaking where I don't think an air port is (bottom as-installed, can't see). I've had light oil on the  vent for some time. Need to verify the axle air vent is clear and that I don't have a line full of oil. Some seem to have that issue as I do (very minor amt) for year without problems. Others have big leaks from bad o-rings. Others have just enough oil contaminating things to gum up the works.


I guess I'll see if this locks up when warm when I check the axle breather. I'm not sure the truck is moving until it's warm. Frozen around all 4 tires


Same shit could happen on any edge of my crapgasmic driveway, so I'll stow any of that bitching.

Fucking embarrassing that this is "stuck"

[rejeep]

beyond.. i would set fire to it and hide my head in shame.
