Re: programer for a gas truck?

HP Tuners is an option for modifying the trucks. The torque management program and lean fueling actually typically hurt MPG if you have a foot that needs power "now" and eases up later as you are on it longer.

My 2500HD with larger tires, drop in filter, and a hp tune tweak gets 12mpg city, as high as 16 on the highway. Truck has 113k on it and features the extended cab with the long box. (ECLB). I tuned it around 93k.
I have the 6.0 LQ4 and the 4L80E with 4.10 gearing.

However, the "unlocked" power is nice.
