Tuners???

What have you guys found to work best for the 6.4 to improve mileage? Tuner (which one)?, exhaust...? What else?

I'm actually having a SCT tuner installed as we speak and also a dpf delete pipe. I'll report back what kind of performance increases I get.

Click on my user name...

Start reading!

As my sig states I'm currently running an SCT LW w/Gearhead tunes in addition to the Innovative Diesel Performance Xtreme Tuning package that came with it.

Mileage with a delete will increase, how much it will depends on whether or not you can keep your foot outta it!

Been running this tuner now for a couple of weeks and have a couple of refuelings under my belt. I'm very happy to report 19.1 MPG's. Before the tuner I was getting 14 MPG's. This is a mix of in town and interstate driving. Haven't towed anything yet with the tuner installed. I'm running the "Street" tune. Very happy. Calculations have been done with an Iphone app that keeps up with everything.

Driving habits are the true factor from what some have been saying. The 6.4 does not like city driving. It likes to be on the open road.

I'm running H&S Mini Maxx, 4" Downpipe, 4" DPF/DOC Delete pipes, 4" aFe DPF back exhaust, S&B intake. Love the setup. City driving, I average 14-15, hwy can be as high as 18 unloaded.

H&S has quite a few tunes, I run Hot Damn on 300 all the time.

Cool, thank you for the info. I'll look 'em up and see what they have. Just trying to see what's out there and get as much info as possible.
