2wd for gas milage

[Ldub]

Any body here ever look into hydrogen generators for our trucks, or any vehicle? I have read a little, but all I can find seems to be someone else trying to sell me their kit for SEVERAL thousand dollars, or sell me a do it yourself kit that I doubt will work or would wind up damaging my engine.

Oh yaeh...that was a good one...

Get the new Kia...

Get the new Kia...

Nah, probably the baddest new gas sipper coming out is the brand new 2012 (being released Summer 2011) Hyundai - VELOSTER!!! It gets 40 MPG from its 138HP 1.6L 4-banger, has total front-to-rear panoramic moonroof, with base price starting at $17K. It has a 1-door (coupe design) driver side; a 2-door (sedan design) passenger side, along with a rear hatchback door. Check-out the new Hyundai - Veloster on the internet, it's just plain bad@*** from every angle!!! A true VX'er type ecomomy car.




Maybe VT-Maverick will post a "link" for me, since I'm not that computer savvy.

So Riff, I know you hate 4 doors but what about 3?

Thanx for the "links" (and they are excellent choices, too). Well; I still hate all 4-door vehicles, however the Hyundai - Veloster is an exceptional 3-door that I could find room in my heart (and garage) to live with. I understand their market strategy is tailored towards the small beginning families (or single mothers) with a single child. That's why the 3rd door on the passenger side for easy access to a child safety seat, because everyone knows that the right-rear corner seat of a car is the safest location for child protection. The Hyundai - Veloster has some very unique features for a starting price of only $17K. I can't wait to see and test drive one later this year. Very cool indeed.

That Veloster looks a little like the Nissan Juke. I still like that little car. Contemplated getting that but went with the Lincoln MKX since it wasn't much more than the Nissan. Now that gas is headed towards 4 bucks a gallon, I almost wish I would have gone with the Nissan since it gets 30 where I'm getting 20 in the Lincoln.
Oh well...

looks like the Murano to me

ok everyone,i took the front diff,carrier and drive axles off and whent from 13.5 mpg to 16.68 mpg.been thru several tanks of gas and it seems i get alittle better mpg each tank.
so it may be worth it for the summer month to get the better gas mileage.

..disconnect the TOD computer plugs..
..and remove your front spline "lock" rings.

Trust me..this was the result of several cocktails, much knowledge..
..and two sponges (dust/dirt barrier) care of Big Swede.

It works..1100 miles so far.

JBTW..fit Aisin or Warn front hub disconnects..and pull yer TOD puter plugs..

..same deal.

No shafts...drive axles..diff this or that!

It got me home..and still going strong

My TOD computer plug is not disconnected, just the removal of front drive shaft, will that cause any probs to not unplug it? No noise anymore and better gas milage so far.

Seems like the major advantage of vxfocus' method is that you lose all that weight too. Got to be 100-200 lbs. at least right?

[Bob Barker]

That is a tall list of work to jump 3mpg!

[vxfocus]

but 3 more mpg = 66 more miles a tank

[VX crazy]

but 3 more mpg = 66 more miles a tank

That is right, and I just filled up this morning, got another 70 miles on that tank, I fill up almost twice a week so thats a big difference for me!
