No, it doesn't. It might raise line pressure, but it can not access the TCM like the SCT does.

Either way that is a way heavy load to be hauling with those tunes on.

Well this trailer is just under 8000 lbs light, But I Usually Haul around 15000 lbs but I Have Pulled some Illiagal sh*t and Hauled A Couple loads over 28000 lbs and Idk Ive put 100000 Miles on this truck 85% of the time with my triple axle trailer and the tranny still shifts like the day I bought it. Its a work horse but FYI I am going to get the SCT tuner cuz I do like GOGO diesel and RCDs tunes for them

So you're saying you pull 8-15k at 75 MPH and get 14MPG correct?

Thats Correct Any thing over 15000 Ilbs is a little heavy to be traveling 75mph i usually keep it around 65 then but any thing under that after getting off the scales i hit Interstate 80 and Crank her on up To 75 on flats usually take summits at around 40 deppending on load i try to keep my EGTs under 1300..

4000' elevation + 14.5 wide tires = crappy mileage! The 4000' here kills other 6-Oh owners I know here. Fact is, I pick up a point or 2 when I go to Phoenix (1300').

The Diablo adds lots of timing which is probably why your fuel mileage is up. But I bet its also streaching your headbolts.

I get 13-15mpg unloaded with my extended cab short bed 4x4 auto. Be happy you get what you get. That is hand calculated for me btw. My buddy has a CC/SB on 37's and stock 3.73's his lie-o-meter says 11mpg. I'm sure it's less. I dont even bother checking anymore. The Diablos run a LOT of timing... that's how they make their power. It's more of a "fooler" than a programmer.
