JTR - Diesel Power

[TheGerman]

So, I was hauling back a Tepui Autana3 from NC this weekend and was playing around with the ACC. I was locked onto a semi doing 70mph, I was in his shadow for almost 2h (~130miles).

I have the Decked drawer system, Road Armor Track bed rack installed, and the Autana was flat on the bed, this adds to ~480lb load.

Thems some good MPG. I am still mystified how FCA came up the 21mpg highway rating for my pig. The good part is past 60mph, economy kinda flattens out. The diesel keeps calling to me, we shall see how things go in the next 24 months.

That is awesome MPG ..... I hope you don't have to offset your fuel savings with windshield cost because those things are fragile.

I didn't do the homework on the windshield replacement cost before ordering the ACC option. I'm still looking into the 4xE to replace my 2012 JKU, for sure it will not have ACC.

I added $5/month ($50 deductible) to my progressive plan as a precaution.

Great idea but I wonder how long it last if you use your wipers without " remove dirt or debris from the wipers". That would get annoying every 6 months up here in the north with road salt.

That's my concern as well, plus what's with ice in the winter?
