best gain in mpg will be seen when you delete the dpf off of the truck, gets rid of all the emissions stuff on it

well am going to the dealer tomorrow to see about the DPF delete and if it screws the warranty. So far they have been saying mileage will improve the more i drive it and break it in. Looking at a tuner as well so will see. So far highway driving averaging 18-20 MPG empty. -
