kingsuv Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I took the easy route to better MPG........ i parked the truck Shit back in the day saving gas meant pull the 4 BBL carb for the 2 BBL If you want to save gas money then shave 4000lbs of the weight of the truck.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more.

meade916 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 there goes logan again at 17 with all his experience.....please stop its very nerve racking. First trying to school burrito on 4x4's now David and Kev on this subject. Being young doesnt mean your stupid but if someone has 20 years MORE experience then you do maybe you should put your listening ears on. These guys were turning tight ones before you were born and whether you believe it or not that does count for something. Also how the hell do you know and who really cares if you gain 1mpg? To me thats the difference between a windy day or maybe a few down hills. i will also chime in and say my Hypertech 3 was really only good for changing my speedometer to match the 26's. Shift points and stuff is cool too i guess. Other then that i noticed no HP gain and if there is one i wouldnt be claiming what the side of the box said i would dyno that shit. Especially if i was to try and prove 50 or 100hp. Between my intake, exaust, HP3 programmer, Granatelli Mass Air sensor and throttle body spacer i should have about 80hp gain.........LOL N#$ga please Intake and exaust was the single most noticeable thing i did and it wasnt really that much.

rizzy71 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 More Power equals more fuel. Chips will not conserve fuel unless they cut back on fuel, thus removing HP's.is that true? My boss has an '05 cummins and he put a chip in that adds HP and torque but he is averageing 36 MPG. he doesnt just use the thing on the sealing he calculates it too from full to empty. and its not b/c he drives light, he drives the fuck out of it BRENT1997 GMC Yukon1-DC xl18"Stetsom 2K5E3-Kinetik HC1800's 1967 Pontiac GTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str86diesel Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 is that true? My boss has an '05 cummins and he put a chip in that adds HP and torque but he is averageing 36 MPG No offense bro...but your boss is stretching the truth. I've owned cummins motors since back in the later 90s and not 1, whether modded or not would ever get above 25 mpg and the truck that did his had some serious pump and ECM modifications done to it (in which you can not get in the States, I had to have this stuff shipped over from Italy). Tell him to stop looking at the overhead computer and calculate it by hand.
