Hello, new to the forum. Long time reader. I’ve been reading up on everyone’s mileage per gallon and I’m embarrassed. I can pull 12-14mpg empty. Mostly highway miles, running in my level 1 fuel economy tune. Granted my truck having wide wheels and being leveled doesn’t help. But 14mpg just isn’t right. I was wondering if anyone had tips or tricks for me? I drive pretty nice to get these numbers and I want to do something about it. I know there isn’t a 100% way to get 20+ mpg but I should be getting better than this don’t you think? All my mods are in my sig.

    Also, consider your rolling resistance and leveling kit adding to the wind drag. 33" is rather minor but still moves the final gear ratio down lower below 3.55 and puts more stress on the drive line.

I’ve been looking through the forum. None of the time parameters look like anyone else’s?

maybe I’m just seeing things?

Looking for a mpg, tow, and race tune

  • Owner

I know both @Me78569 and myself both have daily driver tunes. Like the difference is mine build more for lower altitude and high cetane winter fuel. I know Me78569 is using larger injectors and VGT turbo.

 

 

This tune I'm managed to reach 21.06 MPG. This is NOT a RACE or PERFORMANCE tune. This is Daily Driver Economy Tune. Timing tables are designed around winter cold conditions of Idaho and you'll notice they are on the retarded side. This is to compensate for the high cetane fuel which typically the ECMramps up timing more with IAT below 80*F. There is no wire tap tune here this tune is designed strictly for LEVEL 3 usage. Fuel table is designed around my +75HP (7x0.0085 DAP injectors) where it starts at 90% and ramps to 120% no more. As for the cruise timing limit you need to leave this at 25% raising the cruise to attempt hold above 65 MPH will create a loss or negative torque to occur. Typically at 65 MPH I float 22-24% engine load on flat ground. Even at 80 MPH it will flip-flop back and forth between cruise timing and performance which is normal. This tune also assumes that no oversized tires modifications that might impact final gearing which will impact the engine load number making the tune worthless. 

 

 

This tune is setup for those at very high altitude.  still has good power, with good wiretap.  Higher timing up top and full canbus duration by ~20 psi wiretap starts coming in at 10 psi

Do I have to flash these files onto my quadzilla? I was under the impression I manually had to enter them into my box

No, import to the iQuad App that's all. So you can load as many tunes as you wish.

Does this work on iPhone?

Should... I'm a Android user (LG G5 Android). No experience with iPhones...  

Gotcha. I don’t have a download file like a android. When I try to download the file it brings me to another screen and has a bunch of random numbers. Hopefully someone with iPhone insight can help.
