If you put a smartcar in the back of your truck, will you get better mileage?

Ian
No personal knowledge regarding that... But I do know my truck "rides a lot smoother" w/ a Harley in the back.

Wow 19 mpg overall, that's awesome. I didn't realize ecoboost would do that well.

Just curious. Can you explain the conditions that would set an over speed code. I'm assuming abuse but wonder what the level of abuse it would be.

I've pegged mine, will that show up? Lol. Who cares?


If my flux capacitor goes bad, it won't matter if the truck has seen 88 mph or not.

What? Point was, you can't complain about gas mileage, when you matt it all the time. As the previous poster said...the pcm records over speed codes

This comes to mind:

I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head, that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says, "I need you here"
Ans it's half past four, and I'm shifting gear

When she's lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a wave in the air, radar love

The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's coming on strong
The road's got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise

When I get lonely, and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, comin' in from above
Don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a line in the sky, radar love

No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool, now gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow

When I get lonely, and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, comin' in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a thing that's called radar love
