Question dp tuner and mileage

what kind of mileage gains does a dp tuner give you on a 1999 powerstroke with a 2002 motor in it?

Do you have the 2002 PCM installed too or just the motor? Econo tune, maybe 3mpg gain. Any power tune and you're right foot gets heavy for some reason

Still the 1999 one, i guess they changed the injecters to fire more times for 2002 or something. but it is probabaly not doing that because of the older PCM.

Can you clarify? Your ebpv should work either way.
