Default Is the airdog 100 worth it?

Im looking to do minor modifications to my truck that will help me with mpg. I have an intake, straight pipe exhaust, wicked wheel, and bully dog progammer. What else can I do? And will the airdog 100 help me?

I beg to differ... It will do little if anything to improve milage, and will never repay its self in the long run.

Now if your looking to remove air and filter your fuel better, go for it!

It will do nothing for MPG.

not much... No matter what everyone will tell you. You can go to a bit different programer (Power Hungry Performance, or like) and pick up a mile or so per gallon, but its a 7000# truck min...

Lower it, remove all unneeded weight, drive with an egg under the pedal...

Good tuner can help, but do not expect more then a mile or two...

Power Hungry Performance, Beans Diesel Performance, Swamps Diesel Performance, Murf Racing, all can get you a great tune that will help with milage.


BUT... again... Its a 7k truck...
