Stoke it got 15mpg I was told putting injectors in it would help the mileage. Which is bull crap. I still get 15mph. It smoke like a train and toes way better but no better mileage.

I got a cold air intake and bullydog power pup on it and that's it. 6.7 or 5.9? How much did the after market parts cost?Title: Re: Diesel Fuel Mileage Post by: Woodsnwetlands08 on June 19, 2012, 07:50:58 pm Air intake is pretty cheap 2 I think and programmers range from 300 to 800 or more. I also had my tranny rebuilt and run strait exhaust with 5 in tip. It's a 5.9l

What is a more expensive one supposed to do?Title: Re: Diesel Fuel Mileage Post by: Woodsnwetlands08 on June 19, 2012, 08:24:52 pm I think mine is 550 or so, its the power pup gt I believe. It's got a monitor that reads egt, trans temp, and all kinds of other stuff. It'll read codes, clear codes. It's got all kinds of cool stuff it does. U can switch tunes on the fly and what not. Some will add more HP and torque than others, its just on what you are wanting out of your truck. Do some research on them. I run mine on performance with ads like 70hp and that's how I get the best mileage but it has a tow tune and extreme which ads up to 120 I believe.
Title: Re: Diesel Fuel Mileage Post by: R.ScHmIdT on June 20, 2012, 06:42:52 am I do pencil to paper. 15mpg every time. I'm thinking about getting a smarty programmer. I hear there pretty good. Maybe that will help.
