I wanted to share some results about my install. I have everything installed on my vehicle and am saving gas! I drove my truck about a 1000 miles this last week and i think it would be safe to say im saving about 20% on avarage depending on how fast im going.
My truck is lifted and has 4:88 gears with 33inch tires. its a 2.7l engine. normally i get between 10-18mpg, 18 being coasting down a big hill and 10 in town. if im on the gas driving fast im saving about 10-20%, but if im driving conservatively and slower than the speed limit on the freeway, id have to say im getting almost 35% better mileage I got almost 25 mpg on during one part of trip. pretty exciting..... I have a broken speedo cable so my mpg from the scanguage doesnt read, but i do have gallons per hour (gph) .,... while driving with my foot steady on the gas and on a flat straight strech of road i will use my toggle switch to switch between factory and enhanced. I DO NOT know how many amps i am pulling because i dont have a working ampmeter. napa sold be a crappy amp meter that doesnt even work . Basicly i keep my pwn on 90% duty and 500khz frequency and thats it. It doesnt really get that hot, maybe 110f (dont know for sure but the cell is warm, but not tested it. I have seen a pretty significant savings but I have a few more questions and issues...
On the outside of my cell it is corroding pretty bad. all around the bolts and out side of the cell and on side...can i spray corrosion inhibiter on the out side out the cell? will post picture
can the cell be insulated?
I went on my trip and it was in cold weather so i added a lil more lye to it.
How often do i need to perform maintenance on the cell, and what should i do?
if i need to add water to my cell do i add plain water or pre-mix electrolyte solution?
