If your truck was built from June'07 onwards(guessing the start of Job2 trucks) it should have come with a 6"+ deep air dam under the front bumper. I installed one on my Job1 and at highway steady state road speeds, I have picked up app. 1mpg improvement. Anything you can do to clean up and smooth the airflow under the truck, where all the mechanicals hanging down in the airstream cause quite a bit of drag, will help out. I have never felt the need or thought an aftermarket reprogrammer would provide any benefit over what the truck came with from the factory. When you figure in the purchase cost of the device, any fuel savings over the time frame you actually own the truck, is greatly negated. In addition, if in the event the truck has mechanical issues, even if the device has been previously removed, the manufacturer's representative will detect the signature of that product, and can deny the factory backed warranty for that component, ie. engine/transmission.
