Dang, always something! looks like you are getting a handle on it though... Jim.
Sometimes, you got no choice but if the forecast is for 40mph headwinds, I generally hold off on traveling for the day. The siding is going to be experiencing 100mph winds at a 60mph driving speed all while flexing with every bump.
How bad was your fuel economy that day? Used to have a rig that averaged just under 13mpg long term and one day with strong head winds, we called it after a couple hours struggling to maintain 55mph. When I filled up and calculated the mpg, it was just over 6mpg.
That's about right regarding winds, mog, staying put. We do need to leave Albuquerque tomorrow just in time for more winds to pickup. Sticking to smaller slower roads. Best we've done so far this trip, 8.5 mpg. Worst, 6.5.
I just installed a new MAF sensor and replaced both left and right O2 sensors. We'll see if that helps.
Truck does seem to be running better with the new parts so far.
