What is good place to start for higher MPG. The special diesel requirements make me wanna pass as many stations as possible. Please suggest modifications and electronics. My budget is not very flexible at the moment, maybe your first three mods would be a good place to start. I just bought my first diesel. LBZ 07 2500HD 2wd.

I would not mind seeing pictures of women here as long as they are on a Duramax. LOL.

A bad day huntin' is better than a good day workin'.

A block of wood will be your best bet. It should fit firmly and properly under the gas pedal, allowing ONLY moderate throttle to be given!:D

Seriously, driving style and lower speeds seem to do the most good. From there I would go to full synthetics. Front-end alignment and tire maintenance should be right up there also.

All the other possible helping items like an intake, exhaust, and a chip, may use more fuel then they help depending on your driving habits.:)

):h Very true!

:exactly: save your money on the exhaust, CAI, don't know about the chip since I don't have one

Move to Florida!
On vacation last month, I gained 2 mpg, just because ther weren't any HILLS.

Cheapest things you can do ~

1. Keep it below 60 MPH or so
2. Put more miles on it (MPG will increase with milage during break-in)
3. Keep it below 60 MPH :)

Congrats on the new truck~

Great suggestions, but I want to add to never stop for anything. My truck does great as long as I never stop once it is moving until I arrive! That along with keeping it 35MPH or more where the mileage really begins getting good and remains great until 60-65. Above that and it really begins to drop. So watch those quick starts and WOT for sure.

I have also found coasting downhill grades seem to help. I used to speed up going downhill in an attempt to coast into the next uphill climb, but found that doesn't work as well as coasting all the way down steep grades, and give it fuel as you begin climbing the next one.

The SuperChips FlashPaq seemed to really help my fuel mileage, but maybe it was learning how to drive for better mileage and the truck getting into that 15K mile range at the same time all making for better mileage. I had several runs in the 22-25MPG range more recently running the FlashPaq, otherwise stock.

Drafting the car in front of you.:D

I hear that a go ped works really well, the only thing being that you wouldn't want your friends to see you riding one. MPG or Embarassment? I'll let you decide.

My truck stock gets around 14-15 mpg range. With the Bullydog on towing or economy it is about the same. However on extreme and decent usage on the go peddle i get 17-18.

Get a nice tuner, set on economy mode tune setting- 1 or 2 on PPE and drive easy. You should get an improvement and have extra go power whenever you desire.
