So today was the big day. I received my grooved TB from TracyG about a week and a half ago but didn't have the chance to install it until today. Between yakking with my son and working slow, install took maybe 45 minutes. Would have been much quicker if I was by myself.
Any ways, install went smooth with no issues. Warmed it up in the driveway and got ready for my re-learn test drive. My son and I smelled the exhaust before we installed the TB so we'd know if it made a difference after the installation. Boy did it ever! Smelled all gassy before install, smelled like a dryer vent after the install. Awesome!!
Before the install took place today, I had already plugged up the PCV about a month ago and dropped in some SnakeOil about a week and half ago. Very smooth operation after the SnakeOil application. So I have the 3 majors done to my truck now.
Took it on a approximate 50 mile test drive. Ran through the re-learn procedure as per Tracy's instructions. No issues with test drive but did notice a bit more power off the line when I was doing my full-throttle runs. Loving that!
So yes, I'm a true believer in the Gadgetman Groove system. I have experienced the positive results I was hoping for.
PS: My original goal when I found out about the "groove" was to eliminate (or nearly eliminate) my tailpipe emissions which I have done in spades. The extra power is an added bonus that just happens to work, although my engine has plenty of power and torque in factory trim. Now it has a little more.
I'm sure a time goes on, I'll notice the mileage gains but that wil take time and tanks of fuel.
Thanks very much to Ron Hatton for creating something that actually works and his willingness to share with the world! And special thanks to Tracy Galloway for taking care of me big time! You did a great job grooving my TB bud!. And thanks for the SnakeOil too!
If you're still on the fence about this, get off the fence and take the plunge. It works and I'm proof. If anyone needs to talk to me about my experience, please call or text me.
Have a blessed day,
