    Computer MPG reading incorrect

    So... what I am gathering from all this information is this. I should take a road trip, hand calculate my MPG, and use a ballpark range for future road trips. Hmmm... atleast I will be smiling all the way to empty.

    Computer MPG reading incorrect

    I am finding that it takes great effort to behave myself... I do not have an Aero Force gauge but that gives me more reason to get one. Currently using Torque Pro to monitor temps and it also offers a way to monitor trip MPG but I have not used it for that yet.

    Computer MPG reading incorrect

    Most definetly! Robbie told me about the wedge but didn't give me as much detail about it's location as you did. Getting my DTE to be a little closer to accurate is my end goal. I will try to locate it again. Thank you!

    Computer MPG reading incorrect

    There is a new computer for the engine as well as the transmission, but since the Jeep computer is still there I never thought to look at it.

    Computer MPG reading incorrect

    I changed the gears and tires were changed a year before the engine swap and the computer was updated then.

    Computer MPG reading incorrect

    I have a 2009 JKU with a newly installed Motech swap. My computer is telling me that I am getting 22 mpg when it is actually closer to 16 mpg. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix it? I have been told there is an adjustment up above the original Jeep pedal(yes, the pedal itself is gone). I...

    Motech build underway! LT1 10l80

    First oil change in the books! Got a little more aggressive with the skinny pedal, Holy Cow Batman!!! What a Beast! I am still a ways from mashing it but my Hemi Ram 1500 felt a little less exhilarating by comparison.

    Motech build underway! LT1 10l80

    Got the new bumper with sunk winch plate and the winch mounted. Took forever to get the old bumper off plus it was 108 degrees yesterday, so the winch still needs to be wired. Coolant temps dropped 8 degrees on avg after, so yes, clearing the grill makes a difference.

    I have a S25 Ultra, and it doesn't do the cold start justice.... But I will post it below anyway, since you asked.

    I appreciate the input on the cooling. Robbie was definitely informative on the coolant temps. I wasn't a fan of the no fender liner idea before I got it back. But it is pretty cool to be able to see that Beautiful LT1 resting under the hood. As far as Enjoyment, it start the minute I turned the...

    Motech build underway! LT1 10l80

    She's finally home!! Only been on a couple of short drives so far but Holy Cow!!! I can't get this smile off my face! I have yet to go past 1/4 throttle and constantly finding myself going over the speed limit, talk about power on demand. And the sound during a cold start...Damn!

    Motech build underway! LT1 10l80

    This just in… transport is scheduled! I should have my Jeep back in the next couple of days. Question for the folks with V8 conversions, particularly the ones living in areas where the temps soar over 100 degrees. Did any of you have to change or modify your hood to provide additional cooling? I...

    Oh yes, between Robbie's videos and our conversation I have heard that. But hearing it from somebody who has one never hurts. I already have a bumper picked out. Thanks!
