what chip can i use for better fuel milage on my truck? I have the old school Van Aiken the one that connects to the Injection Pump but i dont think it is working properly. i just drove a 700 mile trip and I took the miles and it sayed that i was getting 13 mpg. something is wrong here so please help what would be better.

I agree with your findings, I have a 01 and I lost 2 mpg with my VanAaken, it blew my mind. I thought it was going to be the opposite.

Were you guys towing or empty? I also have wondered if a different box might get better mileage.

TexMexCowboy

I was empty

hink

i made a 700 mi. trip recently (empty) and got about 18.5 (hand calculated) with my Bully Dog. i've been wondering if an EZ would work any better?

DSjockey

Is that from the computer or hand calculated? if from the computer has your truck been corrected for the 37" tires? if hand calculated then it does seem low, I usually get between 15 and 17 around town street & hiway

I got just over 18 mpg on a trip to Arkansas last march, hand calculated with my EZ. The Smarty is supposed to get about 2mpg on the economy mode.

I just got back from a trip to KY and I was averaging 16mpg towing an empty boat trailer with Van Aaken. Next fuel fill I disconnected box and went stock and I gained 2mpg to 18.2mpg traveling average at 72.5mph in cruise.
All my calculations are manual, I don't even read the computer.
On the way back I had a truck camper installed and was doing 14mpg stock and 11.9mpg with Van Aaken, then in Milwaukee I picked up a 18ft runabout boat and continued to do 14mpg without box at 67.5 mph average.

I think I will put my box on Ebay....

2 runs with the EZ so far and I'm getting 18-19 hand calculated running highway empty.

i'm averaging 20-22mpg w/ my hypertech....this is a mixture of highway...town...and interstate and also empty...however i do carry about 600 lbs of tractor weights in the back to make it ride better haha

TexMexCowboy

well all my calculations is hand the computer is saying i am getting about 15 to 16 at 73 mph. thats about what i had it the hole time. if this chip is not going to help me i think i am going to get rid of it. How much yall think ill get for it if i put it on ebay?

DSjockey

So which box will improve mileage and power? My VA is probably about worthless as the label is gone

TexMexCowboy
