Mileage Bump ! !

Was talking (whining) to a buddy about my horrible mileage and he asked me how long it had been since I changed my fuel filter.
The answer was of course never.
Crazy easy job.
If you've never done it there's YouTube videos specific to 3rd gen.
I honestly gained 2+ MPG average & and even better Improvement highway.
I'm not saying that's what you'll get, that's just my story.
Anyway.. just thought I'd throw that out there.
Y'all have a groovy day!

 

Do your PCV valve?

 

amen about the PCV valve, that is often overlooked

 

Its from the dealership putting too much oil in it.

 

I never replaced fuel filter unless there was a drop in MPG or I'm noticing a fuel issue. Clogged one up in my old Dodge once, pain in the ass to replace dropping the tank.

Looks like its recommended to change every 30-50k depending on year. Guess ill get that and this "PCV" valve done soon?

 

Yeah, I got to that a couple weeks later.

 

Curious, do you run injector cleaner. I had my injectors replaced and do not. These newer fuels have that stuff in it already.

 

Okay,

1- What is a PCV valve and where is it.
2- Where is the fuel filter?

 

I have noticed different brands of gas use different additives. Chevron with Techron is amazing. And I use a Techron bottle in my fuel tank about after an oil change. Carbon build up in throttle body does happen. So thats why I switch brands and use a supplement Techron.

 

Injector cleaner is one of those things I am interested in but there's so many Brands and so many opinions one way or the other on all of them.

 

PCV valve basically recycles gases from the crankcase back into the intake. There's more to it than that. Google can elaborate. It's located on the passenger side valve cover.

Fuel filter is on the frame driver side up towards the front door.
