JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST DIESEL TRUCK A FEW WEEKS AGO IN GARNER N.C. BEAUTIFUL 2011 2500 CUMMINS MEGA CAB. I'M AVERAGING 14.3-14.8 MPG BUT FEEL LIKE I AM HARDLY MOVING DOWN THE ROAD TO GET THESE NUMBERS. I HAVE READ ALOT ABOUT TUNING, DELETES ETC... BUT HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO FIRST, WHAT BRANDS, TO DELETE OR NOT TO DELETE.AND WOULD LIKE TO GET BETTER MPG BUT BE ABLE TO REALLY PUSH-IT! I DON'T SEE MYSELF TOWING OFTEN IF AT ALL. BUT I WANT THE POWER AND BETTER MILEAGE THAT DIESEL PROVIDES. HELP !

 

first i would start with gauges...pyrometer, trans,fuel press etc...then depending on what you want out of it as far as power intake, dpf delete, exhaust upgrade, programmer and on and on. but engine monitoring is vital when stepping up power

 

I would look into the mini maxx from H&S performance it gives you the egr and dpf delete software and 3 power levels that are adjustable on the fly with a built in set of gauges. The H&S also turns on the egr as well. And as for the exhaust i would just the delete pipes for now so if you need to take it in for warranty work you can just bolt the dpf back in place and be good to go

 

Did you mean turns off the egr? It was my understanding that it was off, typo or am I FUBAR.

 

All in what u want mini maxx is food if u like to play xrt pro is good not shift on the fly and u got to buy gauges but to me gauges are a cleaner look just dependeds on how much u want to play and yea I think he meant turns egr off

 

I meant off... Oops... I must have been in a hurry typing. Sorry about that
