Hey guys. I am fairly new to DP and have to say this is a great site. Lots of information. Its great for us first time diesel guys. Anyway here is my problem. I am getting wrong readings on my DIC for my gallons used on my 05. Is anyone having any problems like this. My 03 6.0 gasser always seemed to calculated the approperate gallons used, and now I am seeing 17.9 gallons used on empty.
I fill up everytime at the pump, and I reset my gallons used each time with my trip A to use in MPG calculations. So just curious if there is a flash for this or something.
I also have a preditor of the truck, which is probably the problem, any help would be beneficial. And again Great Site:ro) ...

do you have the predator installed at this time? if so, this is why your dic may be off. Otherwise, i have heard the dic may be off a little on some of the members here. you might do a search on mpg or DIC to see what you can find.

did you install the predator tune already....... if so the the dic will be off because of the tunner !!!!!! the only true way to tell after the tunner is installed is to hand calculate it !!!!!! the05hdHey guys.
