Gary S, darn, i just spent a day driving through Montana on my way to Washington. i coulda stayed at your place instead of a hotel
.
another option since i do not know what the fifth gear will cost you is to put larger tires on your car ie: more rolling diameter. this unfortunatly will make your car harder to take off at stops and will work more on the clutch the same.
i am posting this part not because i sell the things but as information:
with my UPsolute chip in my 2000 JEDI i got 44mpg in the mountains with a TB attached and 38 with out it. no claims written or implied this is just what i noticed. i took it off after getting 44mpg since i usually see 52mpg. i went down to 38mpg and then put the TB bcak on and went back up to 44mpg. this was through the mountains doing 90mph (72mph average including stops every 150miles, mommy was with me
)
and as a trailer, i did not notice any difference in weather, winds or incline. i feel this, for my car and this case, is an honest claim
