Chip or micro-processer is a good move. The exhaust is a waste unless you are going with a different turbo. The waste gate is only 3 1/2, any exhaust bigger then that is worthless. Chuck

I have a K&N filter and chipped and I get 21 mpg out of a Dually. If your exhaust is small like my truck I think a small gain my be had there.

I run a edge evolution programer that has 60,80,100Hp,K&N and a straight thru walker big truck muffler on a 01 supercab. Run it on 80HP most of the time. 3.73 auto,gets 18 to 20 on highway.

The edge evulation programer is money will spent. I around 20mpg out of 2000 f250 Super Duty pulling a load. I also have the air-raid filter box on it.

Not drunk, just telling about my fuel mpg. Wasn't talking about pulling both trailers at the same time.

Hate to disapoint you, but I am. If your truck will not, you may need too buy something differnet. lol

We get about 22 mpg around here with our Diesel. Mid 20's on highway, lose about 1 mpg pulling the boat. Chuck
