take the turbo silencer ring out. helps also. i just did the air box mod,
all the baffles are out, reusable oil filter and grounding system. i am now
pushing mid 20’s.
Don’t forget the gauge pillar adds 200 horsepower and 15 mpg….and the
only warranty you’ll need to worry about on a Cummins is the Dodge portion
of the truck. The engine is rock solid, and these upgrades just make it run
better and longer with less effort. My 2004.5 2500 4×4 averages 25-27 mpg
highway. 220,000 miles and runs like the day it was bought, but some of the
Dodge pieces have needed replacing, like the stereo, lumbar support, hvac
control, and a busted fan clutch cable.
I got 27 mpg hwy with my 96 Cummins, 5 speed man, stock exhaust minus the
cat and with a Corsa Muffler. New 4″ SS exhaust now but I have not checked
the milage. I can go about 2000 miles without filling up, saves time and
money.
Cost and repeat business. OEMs basically do the bare minimum to get you the
power they think you’ll need, then they turn around a couple years later
and start selling something with even more power and better efficiency that
makes the old one seem obsolete when really you don’t need new truck.
I have a 2011 ford super duty diesel and dealership says if I replace the
cold air intake they would void all warranty….I wanted to do cold air
intake and exhaust and chip.?

Best way to get better MPGs ????? Stop bitching & make more money.
Good Stuff

I have exhaust, intake, ts chip, fuel rail crossover from riffraff . Is
there anything else I need for better mileage?

Be careful with 98 to 2002 dodge Cummins with the 53 Cummins block they
cant take the pressure with out cracking below the freeze plugs ?
What a damn redneck. His mpg won’t improve when he’s fucking his truck up
doing those stunts.?
How about a smaller truck, smaller engine (2 litre)? You’d get 50+mpg
(imperial gallon) on the motorway/highway.
In the UK, the engine you describe would be in a 3.5 ton truck (or lorry as
we call them here).?
dodge owners are all shitbags, your loud piece of shit cum ins is a fag
attention getter. only fags drive dodges and peterbuilts.?
I wouldn’t own a “Dodge POS”… Ford 7.3 PowerStroke for the WIN!?
