Just thought ide share something with you all that i came to realise the other day. Kind of like an epiphany you could say
well I was driving my truck up to Moree to visit some mates last weekend and couldnt figure out why when a sign on the side of the road said 'x' number of k's to go till the next town that my trip computer was always off.
I then proceeded to plug my chip it obdII reader into the car and found out that even though i have regeared my truck to suit the 33's and have a speedo corrector that makes it reads perfectly spot on the the kay, the trip computer and im assuming odometer still goes straight off the gearbox sensor which was still reading 6km/h slow. So in actual fact while my speedo reads exactly the speed im doing (calibrated and tested using 3 seperate gps units at once when installed) the car itself still reads slow.
So what does all this mean? Well for every 100 k's I travel in the car, i need to add an extra 6 k's onto the trip computer and hence my fuel consumption calculations as well. Seeing as though I just had a long range tank fitted just before i left its a bit hard to use the old tank figures but I was able to go 1250k's on 130L. Which works out at 10.4 L/100 (calculated not with the computer obviously) which im very happy with seeing as though I was carrying 4 people in the car and a canopy full of luggage.
This comes just after changing my injectors to the new DLC ones as well so I was not able to get the correct adjusted calculations from the old ones. With how modified and how heavy my truck is Im stoked with that figure.
Has anyone else with 33's and a speedo corrector encounted the same thing? I suggest having a look because you might find your truck is getting better economy than you think.
