23 MPG AT 80MPH!!!

[gabelnj]

Thanks to the folks over at Elite Diesel Engineering (EDE) my truck is now running cooler, faster, and more efficient than ever, running from Pueblo Colorado to Denver I averaged 23MPG and averaged speeds between 75-80 MPH. I got the truck back from EDE and with in the first 200 miles the solenoid on the turbo failed, they sent a mechanic to my house 50 miles away to fix it! This truck rips when I want it to and saves money on fuel when I want it to, I even took 9000 pounds down the highway and had no problem holding 75MPH, EGTS rarely got over 1000F going over mountain passes….. So HAPPY!

Work they did

VGT-SR turbo
STUDS
EGR delete
Cooling lines
Stage one injectors
CUSTOM Tunes

Just making sure you were hand calculating. I always ask. If so, SWEET

hand calculated and filled up to the brim each time? 23mpg is kinda high IMO for 80mph
