How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

try out that app on your phone called Fuelly. it's easy to keep track and get a average over several fuel-ups. also keeps track of receipts and money spent.

biggest things that change mileage are wind direction along with going up hill and down hill plus elevations. if you want to get picky, don't fill it to the brim, I always do the one or two clicks when the nozzle shuts off and call it. print the receipt from the pump and enter all of the info into the app.

there are a couple of guys here in the forum that use the app and have the results in their signature like me!

Come to the conclusion that, its just the nature of the beast, or, pop the rocker covers, valve springs and install new valve guide seals.
The good ones, the posi seal units.
Then I think that blue smoke on a starup will greatly decrease.
That is oil thats burning off the tops of the pistons.
Oil leaks past those bad valve seals when it sets for a while.
And believe Me, these engines delivers a LOT of oil into them valve covers.
If You dont believe Me, just get one of those covers to leaking.😹

Nice photo!

donno if its allowed over on reddit, but I would say if some of those folks wanna join up here in the forums for help or just to join in on the fun. most of us don't really do much in social media. I am a member there on reddit but mainly to get help with my 3d printers. there has been a lot of what I would call turmoil there in reddit over the site owners and admins along with bots. most here try to steer clear of all that stuff LOL. Not talking bad about the folks there but rather the site it self and all the bots.

Yeah, that would be the simplest.
I’m already a member in three social media sites and IDK how many groups.
Several Jesus type groups and several HD groups along with a couple or three old pickup truck groups.
I’m also a member in the gmsquarebody forum, the hdherd forum #hdherd and I am most active in the HERD forum and this one.
The most active SM site is MeWe. There’s a lot of action over there, mainly in the Jesus type groups and several Harley groups.
Gab social has a couple of 6.2/6.5 groups but they dont get any action, none at all.
This right here is the best no BS forum group out there and I forgot too, I’m also a member of diesel place and another one too that will lead a person astray on info and such.

Honestly sir, the 6.2 Group Chat (a separate entity from the Diesel Subreddit) is truly free of the things that plague most subreddits.

To the others here who have Reddit, Id really be great if you all commented (or send me privately) your usernames on there so I can add you to the chat, the GC would most certainly appreciate your wisdom and knowledge on these motors (that and, a GC is more responsive than an online forum)
