I know the size of your tires make a difference. Anyone know specifics on this?

I tried smaller tires for 2 months and only .3 mpg difference

NONE! Don't waste your money on it either

There is NO mod you can make, No money you can spend, to get you a more significant increase in mileage than how you drive. You have a Big Block, in a Heavy Vehicle, with Poor Aerodynamics. That's the world we live in...

Keep it under 2,000rpm, never more than 1/3 pedal, drive like Granny. That's IT!

Try it for a tank, see if the difference it worth wanting to kill yourself for spending your time on the road like that

Sorry just not true....My truck makes 450HP and gets better MPG's than when new..if I drive normally.

I've seen 2-3 mpg's with good tunes, intake and exhaust systems, I'm not the only one either.

And those are "Good Tunes you'd like to have him spend money with you for - right?

Driving "Normally" nets me an average of @14mpg

Driving like "Granny" and I see @17mpg (and, of course, that's all a subjective term, maybe my Granny is somebody elses Normal...)

Thats his choice as to who to buy from..but saying no mods will help mpgs' is just incorrect info.

I get 13mpg driving around. If I get on the hyw with no trailers I can get 15-16mpgs and thats the 1996. Those are 38x14.5 Toyo MT's. So yes, I would think a chip would make a difference for you. I use the 4th position the most. Custom intakes are really a waste. Ive never seen them do anything good for the rig. A commercial napa air filter for the stock air box is the best thing you can do. Exhaust systems are kind of point less too. You still have a 3inch dp. A Cummins Engineer told my Friend that intakes and Exhaust systems don't improve anything. The only reason I do them is because they sound a lot nicer. Oh and FYI that 96 Powerstroke can out run that Cummins with its chip off, and the Cummins is way lower to the ground.
