On my truck i got up to 22mpg due to being in 6th gear and cruising around 60mph.. (took back roads to a party that was about a 2 hr drive.) the deletes i had done at the time was the dpf, and k&n intake, and edge tuner..

I never trust my overheads. The one in my 2000 is usually 1-2 miles off of what Im actually getting. My 07 is everywhere though I never even look at it. My 07 gets 19-21 hand calculated.

I'm on 40's and 4.56s and the other mods in my sig, and My overhead never goes below 17mpg, Hand calculated I'm around 15mpg average. When I moved last september, I drove 1200 miles most of which I drove around 75mph, and was between 15-16mpg, hand calculated, the entire trip. When I had 37's I was averaging 19mpg, and the overhead would be around 21-22mpg. My overhead is usually around 2mpg higher than my hand calculations.

Did you ever get the ECM reprogrammed for tire size when changing tires?

I use the mini maxx to recalibrate for tire size and double check it with a GPS to make sure my speed is correct.

Default Fuel Mileage

Good luck with 20. If its a 4x4 or a dually you'll be lucky to get 18. I get 16 to 17 on a regular basis, but that's about it. If you wanna get CLOSE to 20, get a Smarty or H&S tuner, straight turbo back exhaust and that's it. Some people say get a cold air intake too, but I've heard bad things, like lower MPG, unless you're pushing 600+ HP. If you need a how-to for installation, there's carbonitecummins.com for complete instructions. Happy Truckin'
