new 2005 6.0

[matt20]

just got a 2005 6.0 with 90k on it 4dr long bed. its got a 8 1/2 skyjacker lift, 38in nitto mud grapplers, edge chip,green intake, straight piped dual stacks.
filled the tank up put the chip on milage dont have a heavy foot switched a little bit between extreme and got on it to show off a little bit all the the levels seem to be right with everyone elses. filled the tank half way figured my mpg 10.2.
is that right for the size/weight of the truck what could i do to improve my mpg i thought i was going to be getting 13-15 avg any advice would be great its my first diesel.

To get better fuel mileage, remove the 38 inch tires and, so it doesn't look stupid, remove the lift. Put 33-34 inch tires on it with a 2 inch leveling kit. Your mileage would be close to your target.
What gauges does the truck have?

Ya def get off the 38s and 8.5" lift.
SCT with custom tunes

That should take care of alot of the MPGs

[matt20]

It's the edge insight is there a level that really helps on the edge? its got eot ect egts boost tranny temp should I get rid of that and go with a sct tune. I'm going to fill my tires to 50 psi today Im going to order a S&B intake. Have you guys tried the 2 cycle in the diesel? Does it improve? Any advice would be great.

Heres a chart with the fuel additives and how they tested: Fuel Additives?

I run the Opti Lube XPD in every tank.

Ok so you have the Edge tuner. Ya just get a Insight CTS to just monitor everything and a SCT SF3 or X3 with CUSTOM tunes.

You want my advice about that S&B intake? Unless you want to spend money to replace a component with an INFERIOR component, save your cash.
The only things you would gain by replacing the stock intake with a "cold air" intake system is:
Loss of money from your wallet
More dirt ingested by your engine and turbo

I just bought one. Havent installed it yet. Theres basically no point except for the fact that its a lifetime filter and not a PITA to change the filter anymore. But ya, nothin there as far as HP or TQ.

I've got the insight so I can see all my temps and everything. I've got a green intake on it now and it's horrible the company went out of business so I just wanted to get another intake. Should I add a sct tune on top of the edge or don't double stack I was thinking about doing a egr delete to. My buddy runs a full quart of 2 cycle in every fill up should I be doing the same or stay away from that?

[bwillis2003]

Ehhh Id do it if I had my 7.3, but Id be way too scared to do that on a 6.0..buy the OptiLube XPD..it comes out to like $3 or $4 more to fill up your tank.

Dont stack it. Cut the Edge crap, just use the gauges on it.

And yes Id def do the EGR delete.

[matt20]

Optilube xpd where can I get that? And then on the edge do I just tune it to stock and Leave it stock and add a sct tune? Is edge really that bad?
