After about two weeks of driving since the coating of my air tubes, I feel that there is a definite difference in the pulling power of the truck. I drive the same route twice every week. The only difference from trip to trip is a slight difference in load weight. One every trip since I started driving this truck, I have had to downshift one gear on the hill at mile marker 253 on I-80 in Pennsylvania. Since the coatings were installed, I do not have to drop a gear at that point. I cannot credit this increase in power to anything other then the coatings.
My son makes the same runs that I do. Since the coatings were installed, he notices a difference in my power because I now out-pull him on hills on route 309 near Tamaqua, PA, that I did not previously catch him on.
I cannot say that “there is X amount of difference” in power, I just know that my son and I both see a difference in my truck.
As far as fuel mileage, I can’t say just how much difference there is. I do know that on one run between fill-ups, I averaged 8.2 mpg. This is the highest I have ever gotten. So far, I have used 4 to 20 gallon less per fill-up than my son while running the same runs, and with me carrying heavier weights.
My early judgment is that this is a very good fuel-saving, power-increasing program. I am thrilled with the results I am seeing.
Sincerely,
