Hey Jerry!
I'm no math major, (but there are some here who will help me out with the big numbers...) Let's say that you get 17mpg average and the hubs add 1 mpg to your fuel economy. In 100,000 miles that's an improvement of 5,555 miles, or 308 gallons. At $3.00 per gallon (it's going down in price at the moment but let's assume that Iran nukes France) the 308 gallons cost savings is $925.00, so plan on driving that truck another 110,000 miles to break even and don't let momma see this post...= )
Point is and drivel always has a point...= ), you can buy a lot of fuel for $2,000 and these deals almost never work out, even in the long run, BUT for $2,000 you could have converted that Cummins to run on P100 and saved about $17,000 per 100,000 miles, IF you have a buddy who owns a resturant....
