    Diagnosing Ignition Parts

    Will it go to max timing retard as a sort of "limp mode" since the ECM wouldnt get any feedback from the knock sensor?

    Diagnosing Ignition Parts

    I found the diagnostic troubleshooting page online but it doesnt really give a clear way of testing, thats why Im asking

    Diagnosing Ignition Parts

    Howdy guys, I have a question regarding ignition parts because I can never really find this info anywhere. My question is how do you test, preferably with a multimeter, an external electronic spark control module (ESC). Im mostly curious because I have an intermittent timing issue at times and...

    Gas Mileage

    I plan on possibly switching to a more accurate speedo gear soon, but I really don't mind too much the speed difference. Even if I do I will still use maps to track mileage, theres always some room for error in these trucks speedos and odometers considering they are 40+ years old, hell mine...

    That would definitely gain some mpg with a whole bunch of rusty weight reduction haha

    Gas Mileage

    Google maps or ways, not odometer because odometer is slightly off, so to get most accurate I dont use it.. speedo is about 2mph off (bigger tires)

    Agreed, every piece of literature I could find put it around 4500-4600 pounds, I believe it is registered 45(something) thats before you subtract the rust of course haha

    Gas Mileage

    I don't think its in accurate, I often drive extremely light because of volatile gas prices, one week ill fill up 3.60 a gallon another 3.40 a gallon. I dont log often because I only really do it at fillups as that is my way of tracking and I dont fill up very often, making logging much harder...

    Gas Mileage

    I was gonna put in some regular copper Champion or Delco plugs but I was able to get the e3s extremely discounted, less than the copper Delcos which is why I got them, whether or not they actually do anything, I know a lot of guys love them in lawn mowers lol. I dont think they did much but they...

    Gas Mileage

    I actually quite like side posts, not a whole lot of corrosion and less room for guys that like to hammer on the wrong side top post terminal or even worse put a wood screw in it (seen that far too many times) It is a pain if they round but nothing a set of good vice grips cant handle, Im yet to...

    Gas Mileage

    If you give me a way to provide proof I will gladyly provide, but if I do what I normally do, fillup, drive from the gas station to an area I know the mileage away, loop back and fillup then divide, I can give you exact numbers from a fillup, but you probably still wouldnt believe it. If you can...

    Gas Mileage

    Sorry for the long reply Ive been off the forum for a couple days. Nonetheless, again take it all with a grain of salt, Im not asking anyone to believe me, Im just happy with what I got and maybe it will help someone else, many people are taking it all out of context and not considering the full...

    Gas Mileage

    I always just go off of however the conditions are when Im driving around testing it, never really have seeked out any particular, it just is what it is. Also mostly lower 20's think like 20- if I had a good tail wind and lots of downhill maybe 24, but like you said thats not a very realistic...
