I am calculating mileage by hand. From fill up to fill up using the same procedure. As far as mileage I have never gotten 15mpg towing anything. Even towing my 12’ mowing trailer I only get 12 at max. Towing my 14k gooaeneck with roughly 9k on the trailer I get at very best 10mpg. The last...

It seems to be something that started slowly. I thought nothing about but it has been getting worse over last year. More noticeable after going to dealer for airbig recall. It came back from dealer and noticed the interior lights acting strange and then found the tipm board was bad. Other than...

No tunes or tuner. No smoke. Do have just a very very small amount at idle but you really have to look for it to see it.

Everything has been serviced on a normal basis. Nothing seems to be holding back the truck, like brakes etc. same size tires as came on it.

I have. 2006 3500 dually with 5.9l, it has 373 reared and is 4WD. It has 66000 miles on it and my fuel mileage is horrible. New I was getting 15+ towing and 17-18 regular driving now I get 8.8 to 10 mpg towing. Nothing has changed same trailer and same load. I try to run quality fuel and Amsoil...

I had removed mine about 4 months ago. I was getting about 19mpg proir to removing and now it is down to 15mpg. As far as performance it didn't help at all. I am going to put mine back on because the loss in MPG's isn't worth it. Just my 2 cents

AH64ID, I am not sure what the timing is, I think its set on 2 and torque is 2. But without going back and checking again not 100% sure. All I did was hook up Smarty and set it to towing mode.

Thanks Cerberusiam, I'll do that soon as I can, we've got snow and ice right now so maybe few days. But I'll post as soon as I have the info.

Ok guys, here is some more info after doing a few test runs with different settings. 1. Totally stock - on flat ground 7-8 lbs of boost and exhaust temp prior turbo is 700EGT Totally stock - Going uphill about a 5% grade 28lbs boost and 1050+ EGT Totally Stock - Going uphill about a 5%...

Bob should I look at an airbox upgrade to get more air into the engine, cause I still have stock air box?

I went back and check the settings and it was on Towing at 99 or full power so I backed it down to 70 and will try that and get back to the forum with the results. Also I still have stock exhaust, should I up grade to a more open system? Thanks for all the responses.

I installed a Pac brake and gauges on my 2006 3500DRW 5. 9 and I noticed that my exhaust temp, before turbo, is running 600 on flat ground and around 1100 on hills empty. I am running a Smarty Jr set on tow, everything else is stock. What should the temp be normally? I haven't even tried to pull...

I know this question probably has been asked a thousand times. I have 2006 5. 9l it has the stock exhaust system on it as of now. My question is as follows. Is there any exhaust and muffler system out there that will give you good flow without a lot of restriction, and without a drone...

I use AMS OIL in my 06 and I am getting 18 to 20k on my oil and still has not reached the end of its life but I still change it a 20k anyway. I also drive about the same as you. Hope this helps.

I just recently place in on my truck and I agree with the Donn just need to torque it to proper specs. It is a great to have exspecilly if you do oil samples, makes it much easier.

I have a 3500 dually with automatic that I used to pull a dump trailer that can total GVW (truck and loaded trailer) of 20k. The truck is stock all the way at this point, no gauges, no chips and no exhaust changes. I am wanting to upgrade to TST coupled with a SMARTY Jr. What I need to know is...

Sorry for taking so long to answer back rbattlle, Have been out of town for past month... ... ... . but it has been only a few weeks and the truck is not driven much at all. So i suppose it could evaporate but I wouldn't think so just sitting in driveway. Also I have checked all the hoses...

I have a DRW 2006, but I have had many issues with the tranmission not wanting to pull my dump trailer loaded with 5k on it when I have to stop and take off on much of a grade. Mine is still under warranty and it has had to be service several times and still doesn't pull well. That is the ONLY...

I was checking under the hood today when I noticed that my radiator coolant was not in the over flow container. I do not have any leaks anywhere that I can find. No coolant in oil, or transmission. Anyone have any ideas as to where this stuff is going? 2006 3500 5. 9l auto with 26678 miles

I run AMSOIL now and with using oil analysis I am getting 18,000 mile on an oil change with very little change in the oil whatsoever. I change filters every 6,000 miles.
