fuel pin+fuel mileage - Dodge Diesel

where can i get a stock pin, im looking for really good mileage and my pin isint helping it has added great power but i lost like 1-2mpg. i ground it just like the bully dog pin and its great but i think a stocker pin w/ just a tiny amount of grinding should do for me. will this even help my mileage?

You could try and tighten up your starwheel. That will keep the pin from coming into play as quickly and should help to bring your sub-15psi mileage up. Anything above 15psi and you're just romping it for fun anyway

Easy fix for you. Do a valet switch then you don't have to lose the "fun to drive" feel but you can get better mileage. JMO

x2.

Did this on my old smoky pin. Backed the starwheel out 1.5 turns and got an extra 1.5mpg.
