I will be getting my J/A this week. My truck is a daily driver, I tow a few times a year a 9000 lb fifth wheel. I have a 6" lift with 315-17's. I have a MBRP 4" turbo back exhaust. I was wondering what settits anyone would recommend for the Juice for a comprimise of better mileage and power.( with the price of diesel milage is important).

Thanks for the help. This site is great.!

Not sure about everybody else, but I ride around on level 3. When towing it is on 2

definately tow in level 2, egt's get extremely high in 3,4 or 5. Anyways stage 2 is more than enough for the weight you are going to be hauling. Otherwise I drive around in 3 and if I am on the freeway 4 or 5. I just came home from a weekend trip and got 18.3mpg on level 5 the whole way home. Hope this helps

i run mine on 3 power level 5 on fueling and only defueling on 4-5 shifts. works great for me and i get between 18.5-20.5 mpg when driving at 73 on the hwy. i get
17-18.5 on the streets. when driving with a heavy foot 16-17.5
egts stay low for the most part well for me

Pretty much same as everyone else. 2x for towing and 3x5 reg, sometimes 5x5 for a short burst to piss off a certain "environmentalist" person. hehe
