How bout you just get some cardboard and make your own lol. That would be the most efficient way instead of spending 30 bux or so on a used one that won't pay for itself for quite a while.

That or tune the lean cruise function built into your PCM. It's disabled in all US vehicles stock, but if you do a little research and tune it right you can save a lot of gas.

This is just a screenshot of where the settings are located. I've messed around with it a little bit on my truck and it made a big difference. I'm still reading on how to "properly" tune lean cruise though.

BTW, sorry to hijack the thread

Hmm. I was under the impression that changing those settings had no effect in our trucks?

I thought so too, but I got to jacking around with a few settings in it and it commanded the 15.5 I wanted it to. It's not really any different from altering the VE to command a leaner air/fuel for open loop
