Wondering if any of you out there could assist with handling this topic, I am very pleased with the modifications I have done thus far and just trying to finish the upgrades with focus on getting more fuel efficiency out of the vehicle. Vehicle Current State: 2006 Dodge 5.9 2500 Mega Cab Edge CTS Tuner - Low Boost Setting on 1 4" Exhaust from Turbo back with 36" resonator Stock Wheels and Tires Stock Airbox - This should be good to 450 Raw HP Currently we are doing heavy amounts of traveling with a 9.5 foot Cab Over Camper and 4 Place snowmobile trailer through pretty mountainous terrain. All the infrastructure is in place to handle these items from a airbag, tie down, and steering perspective. This allows the truck to remain in good riding height while traveling....which is normally around 70 mph as we are slightly inpatient Current MPG Loaded - 13/14 MPG Any insights you have is appreciated.

I've seen "MPG chips" advertised which only plug into the IAT on the vehicle... essentially an expensive resistor. I easily built an IAT fooler for my 01.5 CTD. Why not for other vehicles? If IAT is so critical (getting the onboard computer to lean out the mix) why not alter the vehicle's intake from a CAI (my 97 Cirrus intake snorkel pokes through the radiator support frame.) A simple alteration / baffle would have it sucking underhood air. Or go to an ITA fooler harness like the Cummins. This is my daily driver & gets decent MPG in good weather but loses excessive miles in cold weather. I have emailed Caspers again for an extension harness to start from for an IAT Fooler... I'd start with the same resistor as Cummins & think it would be close.
