Tuning help

[Crewpup15]

Have an 02 vp44 truck, just did ARP head studs and 7x0.010 SAC injectors from power driven diesel. I’m looking to make a solid daily tune with some *** but more importantly get decent milage.

Did you follow the tuning guide / how to? 

 

 

 

Key to mileage is getting timing in the 18-20* range at cruise state.

So you want your cake and eat it too...huh?  All kidding aside...getting decent mileage is gonna be tough on your setup regardless of tune.  The 35" tires, 4.10 gears, lift and big turbo are all gas mileage killers.  I would be very happy with 13 city/17 hwy/15 combined with your current setup.  What are you getting now?

Isn’t that the goal in life??? I haven’t run it much maybe 20 miles with the injectors and studs but stock injectors and running the quad in 10 I was averaging about 15 but on a run back to PA I was doing about 19 with the stock injectors

I think that's pretty good!  You might see a very minimal increase with the new injectors but nothing to jump up and down about.  But I'd say your current gas mileage is not too bad at all.  I only get 1-2 mpg better but I run actual size 33.2's and 3.55's with manual locking front hubs on a very light reg cab shortbed configuration...so yours sounds good to me.

And I’m running an extended cab long bed so I feel like I’m doing ok lol. I like to think I’m ok at keeping it easy on the skinny pedal when I need to?

Might check out my tune. I'm getting pretty solid 19 MPG in the dead of winter.

We all know there's no fun in that...

That’s very true? why do you think I went with 150’s and a 354.5SXE??

Mopar1973man about what altitude are you at? I’m stationed in Vegas so I’m sitting right around 3k ft. Also cool little experiment... when I went home to Pennsylvania my truck had a tangible increase in power and almost no smoke. Crazy what loosing a few thousand feet of elevation will do.
