Manual JT with Magnuson tow results

[piroman683]

All right gang, I installed the Magnuson Supercharger on my JT along with the Long Range America aux fuel tank, hooked up a 3500 lbs trailer (dry weight), and loaded 40 additional gallons of fuel in the truck bed, 40 gallons of water in the trailer, and another 500ish lbs of gear in the trailer. Then drove from Long Beach to Black Rock City for Burning Man. To my surprise I achieved 11.4mpg with the SC and towing. Never once did the clutch slip, nor truck not maintain 55 on the steep hills/mountains along the 395.

I'm also on 37's and 4.56 gears.

How do you like the power of the combination?

The combination is perfect. The truck now has the proper power it should have had from the factory. Though I'd prefer another 30 ft. Lbs. of torque to round things out nicely

Are you running the stock clutch?
