ts 6 pos best setting??
I just got the ts 6 pos for my truck with canned tunes. It works great, everything works right and shifts great. My question is what would you guys recommend to set it at for better mileage? The settings are; stock, hi idle, 50hp, 75hp, 100hp, 140hp. I was reading earlier and many people say the 75hp setting. what do you guys think?

That is NOT good. Diesel are designed to run near the 200* mark

The difference you feel is the timing, nothing more

Soooo all the chip does is change timing??? It doesn't increase the fuel output as well???
And if I dont use the two high HP settings i.e. 100hp and 140hp will I really need a egt gauge?? I'm not a hot rodder and I am so scared of wrecking my truck I won't use those until I have upgraded head studs and gasket as well as new turbo, intercooler, and bigger injectors. Those are coming later down the road. All that said I love it so far. I am trying the 75hp setting for now to see what kind of mileage I get. I take to same commute to work and back which is 23 miles of highway. will keep posted on what I get on the first tank.

And YES on the EGT gauge. These trucks will run 1300* on the STOCK setting, so any more fuel and you you WILL met the engine down.
No need for head studs, or Turbo unless you are over 3ooRWHP
