I'm sorry I can't help you here. I got mine years too late. I've not driven 1000 miles since I left Jody's place, can't afford the fuel so am driving my ugly little car. But I'm sure it's better, although it was so good before I don't know how much more I could possibly pick up. The power increase is great though.

About a 1 MPG LESS.
When the truck was new I averaged 17.1
2" Lift - 1 MPG less
315s - 1 MPG less
DP Tuner - 1 MPG less
Beans Stage 1 - 1 MPG less
I average about 12.5 to 13 now.

Hah, you're sure going the wrong direction. The only one of those changes that should have HURT your mpg are the tires. But I see you have that junk K & N, and I guess stock exhaust. Those should have been your first mod's.

The K&N has 280,000 miles on it. (I'll be keeping it) That's the only mod I did before 100,000 miles. My Blackstone reports states consistently my oil is below Average in Silicon. (even at 10,000 miles oil changes) And that I have one better motors out there.
I've kept a Fuel mileage log on the truck sense the day it was new. Those 4 mods done at different times all show a Drop in Fuel Economy!!
Now, If I was smart enough to believe the Overhead Read out I would be getting 23.4 MPG. But sense I can only go about 500 miles before I have to fill up I I'm just to damn stupid to get 950 miles out of the tank.
When It was new I could get 750 miles out of a TANK.
BTW 4" Exhuast Turbo back.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

The worst thing I did to my truck for MPG, was installing the DP-TUNER. I am getting to be like Mark, an old fogy.
