Value can go up to 1 mpg. For example if going on flat road pedal or cruise mpg value will jump 5.9-6.3-5.8-6.2-6.9-6.3. I thought it may be fuel pressure sensor on the rail but checked reading on the other truck and reading are the same. Could it be injectors or anything else? How is this value (mpg on dash) being calculated? Truck starts fine - do not experience long cranking. Fuel miles not great but ok. Its been always getting 6.3. Didn't see any bubbles in Davco filter, but still need to check in return line. There is Injector test in Insite 8.3 which passed ok. Any suggestions?

Welcome to club srsttrans.
Do you have gal/hours readings, when truck idling steady or it jumping too?
I have same problem for years. Sensors, pump, injectors where changed, doesn't help.
Sometime it's cleared by itself. Engine running very smooth when its happens.
I'll PM you.

Its jumping even when idling. 0.7-0.9. when turbo activates or cold 1.2-1.4. Its not steady readings. ON the other truck value 07 and staedy, only sometimes jumps to 0.8 and back.
