Best MPG

What is the best setting I can run on my TS 6 pos to get the best MPG and power? What kind of mileage should I look for? I have 99.5 4wd automatic AFE stage 2 wicked wheel 5" stacks and ts 6 pos and boost releif valve.

Re: Best MPG

It's hard to say what setting will give the best mileage. A lot depends on what programs are on the chip and how closely they were written for the mods to your truck and how you drive it. Somewhere around a 100HP program drive gently will probably give good MPG. I haven't driven unloaded for enough miles to tell you what my MPG is. Loaded I get around 7.5-8.75MPG.

Re: Best MPG

I got 17.8 on 80hp and 16.8 on 100hp. 16.8 was what I got stock also. I found that fuel quality, the way I drive it, and weather affect mpg more than anything. I've seen as low as 15 driven well in 80hp setting.
