Well I finally broke down and installed the juice with attitude (actually chevmeister, hoot, bluox, tony and some others installed). Glad I brought beer...http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif


I drove it hard and fun for 2 tanks of fuel so far.


Maybe I am crazy but I gained 1 mpg.


I will watch it for the next couple of tanks to confirm but thats cool.

It might be that your truck is just lighter from all the dirt that rubbed off on all of us that lent a handhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

The mellower programs do add some Mpg's IF you aren't always crazy with it. I remember gaining 1 - 1.5 mpg with my first Juice....soo looong ago....

I have found if you drive around on level 5 without lead foot it really helps mpg's.

If you're using the DIC, that's why you're getting the better mileage - it's not as accurate with the Juice installed.

Still learning how to do the smoke thing in 5/5!


SO far the juice has been great!

Gradyghost:

Would you please tell us what level you had set when getting the 1 MPG improvement. Also, what was that low boost fueling set at?

Thanks.

Glady Bh in AZ!


Since I got the juice I have had it at level 3 power and 3 boost.


A couple of times for fun I would go level 5 power and 5 boost!


I would say it has been at 3/3 95% of the time.


But let me add that my 2001 used to get 16.6 mpg, and I have noticed a decrease the last 10000 miles. Truck now has 94000 miles.


I just put the juice to it at 92500!


And now I am getting my old 16.6 mpg.
