Mpg Mods Smoke????
Hey guys this is my first diesel in a truck so im a newbie when i bought the truck its an 06 megacab drove it down from salt lake wife said the worst she got milage was around 17mpg on the trip comp. Great my last truck 04 2500 qaud hemi was 7 mpg so im stoked right then i put my mods on as listed now she is reporting the best she has seen is 14mpg. you guys experince this with your mods? Also i am using the bully dog pmt and she leaves it set on stock could this be a prob. not to sure what setting for long trips and around town. And one final queston (sorry guys) light grey smoke when she pulls away from the light. some guy in a mini van pulled up next to her at a light cusing her and fliping her off for the small amount of smoke it left so she put it to performance setting and left him in a cloud of black smoke got to love my wife. but the grey smoke makes me wonder? thanks guys hope to be home soon few more months of good luck and a 20 hour plane ride.

Bigger injectors and bigger turbo are going to equal more smoke especially from a starting stop. Doesn't matter if all your boxes/programmers are off or on. Nature of the beast. You weren't expecting better mileage, were you?
