Best Chip For MPG - Diesel Forum

BRIANWALLACE · 04-26-2004, 11:12 AM

I need some help chosing the best chip or programer for MPG.
This is for a fleet with 6.0 powerstrokes.
I do not need high HP. Only concerned with extra MPG.
Thanks for the help!

I have seen an increase with my predator. Nothing astronomical but around 1.5 increase around town. On the hiway I go too fast to see an increase. And the cool thing about the predator is that you can just program it and none of the drivers can take it out. I use to only get about 380 miles on a tank around town and now I can easily see about 410-420. Like I said nothing astronomical but a definate increase. this is runnin on the 65 and tow mode. the 100 mode is just toooo fun to worry about fuel milage.

I have run my predator on the 65hp mode and saw about the same 1.5 higher in the city and about 2 mpg on the highway.

One point I have noticed, 2000 rmp and under the truck gets its best mileage. For my truck with 4.10's and 315's that is about 64 mph. At 70 I pull 2200 rpm.
