Nice truck, congrats.
I got one (2007). Hope you get better gas mileage than I do. This thing is a gas guzzler. 12 per gal in town and 14 per gal on the road, if I am lucky.
Chucker, i get 14 around town, havent put out on the big road enough to check the MPG there yet, so far about the same as the ole z71
I had heard that about the Nissans.Quote:

Good lookin truck.
My '01 GMC wasn't getting good mileage, I installed an air turbo in the filter compartment and gained 3.7 mpg highway.
Just let Rees buy the gas no problem.

Nice ride for sure.
Yes! Goodtime, it is a great truck. I love mine, it has everything you can think of on it. I wish I could get one of those air turbo for it. Man, I would be happy to get a few more MPG. If you here who sells them let me know.
I have ridden in Chuckers and it's a very nice ride. Lots of room and very comfortable.Quote:

I got it at Napa in '04, only place that carried them. You have to go by part number to fit your truck. It goes in the air line before the air filter. I'll check the next time I'm there for proper name.
Nice ride!

What if you could add over twenty horse power to your engine and mange to save gas mileage by only spending $69.99? That, of course, is the claim of the a product known as the "turbonator". While products resembling the turbonator have been around for quite some time, perhaps this is the first device to make such outrageous claims and still show so many great customer reviews on their website. Yes, at that price, the turbonator really does sound too good to be true. However, is it worth buying?
To begin with, let's start by analyzing what the turbonator is and how it actually claims to work. Essentially, the turbonator is a small metal fin that is placed inside the air intake. This fin then works by spinning the incoming air before it reaches the engine. The theory behind this is that spinning air moves faster, and thus will also bypass turns in the intake piping much quicker.
Simply reading the description should make one pause and think though. By placing something in the intake, we obstruct airflow. Laws of nature tell us that something which is obstructed will not allow movement the same as something which is free of clutter. So, contrary, to what the turbonator may claim to be, it is really nothing more than a metal fin placed into your intake. Even though their may be truth to the statement that spinning air flows faster, this does not have an applicable purpose when talking about the amount of air that enters your engine.
With that in mind, let us discuss the actual performance of the turbonator. Although it claims to increase horsepower and increase gas mileage. Most testimonies (and common sense) should tell us that the turbonator will decrease both of those two factors. When we place something into the intake manifold without any purpose, what we are doing is blocking the right amount of air from getting into our engines. From the factory, car engines are tuned to receive the right amount of air for the necessary engine. When we alter this balance, then, we actually decrease the performance of the engine. Thus, we can be sure that the estimated extra "20 to 35" horse power that the device promises is nothing but lies.
However, let us also examine the claim for increased gas mileage. While the claims about performance are simply misleading, the better gas mileage is an outright lies. Far from increasing the amount of gas mileage you get out of your vehicle, the turbonator has, in many cases, actually resulted in customer getting less mileage per gallon.
Add these outright lies with the fact that the turbonator often takes several attempts to install correctly, and that it may in some cases actually damage the engigne, and we have a product that not only does not live up to it's claims, but is also a horrible choice, and should be avoided by any and all who truly care about their cars or wish their vehicles to run right. Do not believe the claims of the turbonator, your seventy dollars can be spent in much better ways, such as a tune-up that will actually increase in your gas mileage and performance, and also extend the life of your vehicle.
Dern. That's a lotta words. Next time just say "it sucks". Lol. But how come cane picked up almost 4?
Truck has a k&n already. Cat back might help a little but its a pretty big investment and a long return horizon, IF it adds anything and with the sound, it's label to hurt from the lead foot.

I'll replace the air filter asap, pour in 2 bottles of fuel line cleaner and record the next 4 tanks of gas. Then remove the turbonator and compare the next 4 tanks.
I'll reply here with my findings.
Nice ride man!
best thing you can do other than reprogram the puter is the KnN, HEADERS, and exhaust--other than that-pffffft.Quote:
