Dp-tuner mpg help
 
Ok so my truck I think I'm averaging 12 mpg right now and that's with my chip at 75hp I think I am currently running the bullydog 6 position chip I have a 6" lift 4" exhaust. I'm thinking about going to 35's and switching to a dp-tuner chip with economy setting how much will this help??

I'm guessing it will help next to none and adds to the chance of having windowed block

I have over 70k miles on my truck with my dp-tuner and no windowed block so I would say you will be ok. Regardless of tuners used rods break when they are stressed. The last guy that I saw one go it had a TS chip.

However up until 1 week ago I had no intentions on ever changing tuners and now that I have I love my new chip.

you would have to pay me to run a DP tuner. most people love them till they try something else

Next time I need tunes I'm probably going to go with gearhead, but beans, swamps, PHP and DI all all good choices

i run a dp tuner in my truck and like it. took out a ts chip because my egts were to high towing. lost some power with the dp obviously b/c thats how i wanted it tuned, but the egts are lower and i did pick up slight (less than 1) mpg. also have an older edge programmer in one of my trucks. egts are lowest of all the 3 tuners i had, but the power is lower too.

you can take the edge out its doing nothing. was it a stock TS or was it custom tuned? if it was stock then you can not even compair them. thats like compairing the DP to a banks chip.

Everyone that I've talked to says to ditch the bullydog chip so there has to be something to that plus no one runs them

Is it a bullydog 6pos chip or is it one of there boxes? If its a chip I think some people can Reburn it.
