I discuss my 11 month journey of trying to recalibrate my truck after doing a single wheel conversion and putting on 40 inch tires. I go through all of the different products I tired and what worked and what didn't.
Please go check out and subscribe to my friend Kevin at his channel: RAM 5500 Camper Thing
He has chronicled his truck build journey and I have learned a lot from him.

I did my super single through DBL design and I had them re-gear the front and rear axle from 4.88 to 6.17… the logic is that the larger gear does not over heat your transmission. I get 14 around town on my F550 10 speed trans and 12 mpg fully loaded

@Tlicious726 2 года назад

How many miles on that? I’ve been researching for over a year now and most of the BDL stores I hear are “ehh it’s ok” to “I hope they go out of business”.

@@Tlicious726 they have a solid crew there now, they had some clowns working in the back in the past which screwed up big time, they have made everything right on what needed to be corrected and then some. The biggest problems I have are Ford factory issues. I drove my truck from NJ to Oregon and back and got 16 mpg

Thanks for the info. I am getting 10 MPG combined and I knew going in it wasn't a gonna be great.

@@carmas54 couldn't agree more. Things are getting solid now, and the company is moving in the right direction. And any mistake made is always taken care of with little to no hassle for the customer

So you made a 15 minute long video about not following the instructions or entering 40" tires...on 40" tires. Awesome truck.

@KruseandViews 2 года назад

Glad it was helpful! Haha, just kidding. The whole point I was trying to make was don't let other people tell you the tire size or what the size is with air in it... go off of the printed size. I messed up and was going smaller than what they were. Thanks for watching my friend.

@carmas54 2 года назад

Lol I waited to the end before I committed… I was going to tell you to measure the height of your spare and not the height of your tire under load. When mentioned 30 inches :-)

@KruseandViews 2 года назад

Haha, I know... I cant believe a quarter of an inch made all the difference in the world!

@henrivanbemmel 2 года назад

OK ... maybe I don't get, but why not run your truck over a measured distance say 10 km and see what your odometer reads. The ratio between that reading and the distance should be your correction factor for your speed and mileage. What am I missing? Henri (RVing with Henri)

@KruseandViews 2 года назад

I am not good at math and wanted my speedometer to work properly. It's all fixed now

Check out Expedition Portal. There are several of us who have built the same rig and already gone through all the things you are struggling with.

@KruseandViews 2 года назад

Thanks, Brad. I have definitely checked out that message board before. SO much great info. I appreciate the suggestion

@bradc5686 2 года назад

@@KruseandViews Your rig is turning out great. Nice job sir!

@jslove777 2 года назад

one thing I'll mention. if you think your digital fuel consumption estimator is accurate from my experience it almost never is accurate. most estimators are at least 5mpg off in nearly every vehicle I've done volumetric true comparisons against. my guess if it says you are getting say 9. something it's probably less than what the estimator estimates.

Thanks for the information as Im sure you're right and we can't trust these computers.
