Great review,thanks for doing this testing as I installed one of these dry filters in my 2005 Sprinter which is way underpowered with a 2.7L Turbo diesel as
I was hoping it would give me a little more pickup and a little better mileage.
With the stock 15 inch standard hwy tires I was getting about 20 to 21 miles per gallon but I upgraded to larger AT tires that are about an inch and a half more in diameter as I do alot of camping put in the sticks and travel on dirt roads.
So now it seems that based on the odometer and doing the math on the gallons of fuel being used I am getting only around 16 to 17 miles per gallon which is a significant drop.
I did not want to go through the hassle of having a dealership mess with the tire wheel sensors so I just installed a GPS monitor for MPH and some other features like a compass etc.
I noticed that the van is in reality going two more miles per hour than is showing on the vans speedometer, so im wondering if I need to recalculate the mileage and add 2 more miles to the total miles the vans odometer is saying I traveled for me to get the actual mileage?
Im asking because you mentioned using your larger tires and going by a GPS for your miles traveled when calculating correct mileage.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Yes, you have to do the math. If your circumference is 10% greater than stock, for example, then you’d add 10% to the mileage based on your odometer. Or just use the gps mileage to calculate it instead. You’re probably getting 1-2 mpg higher than you think.
@@Wallymakesstuff Thats about what I was thinking as I could not believe that the mileage dropped that much just by adding an inch an a half to the diameter of the wheels and the tires are also made for HWY use so they are not real knobby.
This really makes me feel alot better about things.
Thanks again man for taking the time to help out those in need.
Do you still feel like now after more time has passed and testing on that AFE dry filter that you are still getting improved mileage at about 2 more miles per gallon?
@@treasurefinder7753you’re welcome. Yes - I think the mileage did improve about 2mpg highway, probably 1 in town (the higher rotation diameter takes a bit more throttle to get up to speed in town). I also removed that carbon filter at the same time though, so it’s probably a combination of things. It’s worth a try since you’ll save money on filter replacement anyway, at the very least.
Awesome review! Convinced me to purchase one for my car too.
That’s great! Let me know if you notice a difference!
I just ordered a proguard 7 for me and 1 foe my dad's truck too. Curious to see.
@@pickledcottoncandycool! Keep me posted!
From what ive seen its not worth .1 seconds 0 to 60. The AFE lets in bigger particles
Any idea how many lyiers of poliestere does It has? I am gonna try One of those!
Not sure… but seems to be doing a great job so far!
