Is the on board millage calculator accurate after juice. I have the driver command center. (buttons on the steering wheel).


Thanks Terry

seems like everybody in here thinks it is....there always talking about getting some 20 mpg stuff.....with an old pen and paper mine just shows 14 or 15

Ok, my onboard PC says about 19.5. I'm going to give it the pen and pencil check after this tank is empty.


Thanks all

My "DIC" is more accurate now than it was before "The Juice", it's still wrong but not as bad. If you want accurate MPG figures, figure it out on paper because the on board is wrong.

I bought a 2001 2500 Silverado Crew Cab with 150,000 on it and it consistantly gets 18.3 to 18.5 highway. As far as I know there aren't any performance moduals on it. There is a K&N Filter.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif How much more would I get if I added one? I've never owned a diesel before so I don't know much about these things. But I Love this Truck. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif

Thats a loaded questionhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif all I can say is it might be better it might not. With a diesel "I" think your foot makes the biggest difference in MPG, I can't see the juice adding 5 MPG if thats what your looking to gain but it will knock a few seconds off your quarter mile timeshttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif
