Put a new fuel filter in and managed at 25.2 with just over 600 miles on the tank.... :drool:

It would have to be 125.2 for me to even consider a stinky noisy diesel.:jester:

I know Brian. You know I'm just messing with you about the diesel. :tmc:

I'd love to get 25 mpg in my truck!

So far the DIC indicates about 18.2 mpg since the BB tune (about 300 miles). It was 16.2 before I swapped modules. I'll keep you posted.
UPDATE. This has settled in at around 17.6 MPG. I'm frikkin thrilled! Better performance AND better gas mileage. WIN!:cheers:
Only 50,000 miles and the BB will have paid for itself in fuel mileage. :thumbs:

I don't pay attention to my mileage, I know I can get close to 500 on a tank of mixed driving but that's roughly 30 gallons. So somewhere between 16 and 17. We will see how it likes the synthetic oil though, old truck picked up about 2mpg when I switched to Mobil 1.

I got 19 flat from Vegas to red bluff via leis house. I was clipping along pretty quickly. Probably 80 mph average with some LA traffic and winding hilly roads as I was going to see Greg (culater). That is with the 23's too. I was pretty happy.

So are you starting to believe that a tuned, RCSB truck with AFM can get some really good gas mileage?
