Chip help!!

I get horrible mpgs and I am going to try a chip and see if it helps at all. I want a chip for economy but I would like a little more power too. Any suggestions

While your under the hood unplugging the ebpv, you should check all intake/turbo hoses make sure there are no boost leaks. Check your fuel filter to see if its clean. Also check your air filter.

What mods do you have? That mileage is low even for a stock truck.

You need to figure out what's wrong before you chip it. It may be cheaper than a chip too.

Ya, don't expect big increases from a chip. You definitely have something wrong, fix it first like said. Exhaust leaks, boost leaks, fuel leaks, brakes dragging, etc. Lots of things to look at.
