Unhappy New VP = -Mileage ?

I got a new VP from Dodge this week (under warranty) and now my truck is getting about 5 miles per gallon less. Is there a break in time for these new pumps or do I have a problem that they need to fix? I put my Power Puck back in and it did help but I'm still not getting my mileage like before. I was getting about 18 to 20 now I'm at about 13???? What do yall think?

Was the fuel filter replaced? If not, then that might help, maybe. I would reset the APPS just to see if that would help at all.

Thats about all I can think of, sorry. Let's see if someone else will chime in. Good luck.

I've heard of a loss of mileage, but not that big. Most I've seen is 1mpg. Try the APPS reset.
