Mileage Gain
My uncle has a 2004 cummins with the 48re. He consistantly gets around 12mpg. Hes a dairy farmer and is always makin short trips and his truck gets quite a bit of idle time to. Even on the highway the best he can get is maybe 16mpg. I was tellin him that a programmer might help him out with his mileage. Whats the best tuner/box out there to help him. He doesnt really care about more power, he just wants more MPG. He hauls quite a bit with it and he probably wouldnt be one to spend the $$$ on gauges, so he definitely doesnt need anything thats real hot. I was thinking maybe the Edge EZ on the lowest setting. Any comments would be appreciated

Tell your uncle not to idle the truck....These trucks junk up the injectors pretty quickly from idling...Any box that adds pressure to an idler ain't gonna help. Tell him to run some seafoam through a take at double duty then add some meaner kleaner to the next few tanks. The Quadzilla xzt has given alot of guys some good mileage returns...I don't kn ow why as most guys with more power burn more of it....hard not to play with it. ks

I just bough a brand new one off ebay for $200 shipped. Seller had the buy it now price at $299, though he would laugh at my $200 offer, but it was accepted. Anyone intrested in the next 6 hours might try a slightly lower offer.

Sorry guys, I guess mine might have been a fluke, but my offer was accepted. I guess i'm just going to have to wait and see what happens on mine.
