Re: FAQ 101??????

I'm brand new to TheDieselStop. Thanks for a super intro piece. I have had my Super Duty since new and finally have the itch to try some of the upgrades you mention. I know now from reading these forums that there is no "magic wand" that will do all I would like to do, but it seems possible to regain some of the MPGs I lost when I increased the tire size from stock, while giving the truck a bit more capability to get out of its own way.
Lot's to learn.

You may not have lost as much as you think. Bigger tires mean your speedometer is slower, which makes the odometer incorrect. Therefore less miles rack up per tank.
My tire change resulted in 3 miles per hundred miles difference. So every tank I have to add 10-12 miles to the calculation... It makes me feel a little better....
