Well pretty interesting i down loaded power pup on performance setting first It was ok definitely not the juice!! but was good. I ran on extreme still not as strong as the juice i turned up the juice with the power pup together that is the most alsome setup. The clutch would not stick after it reached 2000rpm`s on up i did not think my dodge could smoke that much!!!!!!!!!

You will get better mileage as your truck breaks in. I have been told and I am seeing the break in mileage improve. There are several supposed breaks you will receive at: 25K, 50K and 75K. I would suggest adding in aftermarket lock-in-hubs. I have been told you will gain 2 to 3 miles per gallons by doing this (I believe it; you are driving shafts all the time at the present). You can purchase these from many different distributors and are supposed to be fairly easy to install.

I did not answer your original question in my last post. I have an 05 2x4 Dodge Diesel 15K miles and I am averaging about 19 MPG. My father has an 4x4 similar to yours, he is getting around 16 MPG. I here everyone talking about the 24 mark, but I have yet to see it in my ride? I sure hope I see it soon! I was averaging around 17 new and I have slowly noticed it getting better during break in. I am looking forward to the 25K mark, that is when I am hoping to see the 24MPG.

Well, my truck is a 2003 with 250 not an ho 305, it has nv 4500 hd trans. it also had 245s (tires) it got 23.7 or 23.9 miles to a gallon. Now i did not run the interstates or freeways this was state highways /town/cruizing town /it had the muffler on it so there was no need to roar it around. Being you could not here it(i corrected since then.) I did run it up the mountian fiarly hard(about 5to 7 miles i think it is about 10 to15% grade not sure there. Ichecked it several times (8to10 times) I wrote it on the reciepts. Did i say its a reg. cab? well it is also base model but it`s true. Keep the diesel flowing!

Quadzilla is actually priced at $449.00 for the standard adjustable, $549 for the race, and $299 for the simple one setting XZT. And easy to install when you figure out how do undo the connections on the truck side.

For Real?

I see people saying they are getting mileage in the mid 20's after installing a chip or power module, but is that hand figured or just what the mileage computer says or figured off of the fuel gauge?
My truck says I am getting 23-25mpg but the best I ever got was 21.

To tell you the truth i have 03 i did not know it had a milage computer? I put the juice and power pup together i`m guessing (i no longer fill tank up in hopes fuel prices drop next refuel) around 8 to 10 miles as i like to make smoke as often as i can expecialy when somone is up and under the bumper. It really makes them back off. But back to milage it was not with power add on. Asfar as how i check mine i topped the tank off all it would hold.What year is yours? it`s has got to hav all the bells.Mine is just base reg. cab straight drive. It took 6 years 2 pickups to find it used. finally did i guess .

Mine is an 04 SLT it has most of the bells and whistles. Yours being basic does not have the overhead mileage and trip computer.
