Angry flash

I had the milage flash done about 2 months ago, 1-2 mpg better. What gives? everyone else seems to get 19 or better with the same truck as mine. Im getting 14-15 in town and not much better on the hwy sometimes worse.I even took it to another dealer and had them hook it up to see if flash was actually done...Truck is 04.5 dually 4x4 6speed 4.10 gears. truck has about 7500 miles on it.

4X4 dually, 4.10 gears. That works against you in your quest for mileage. Sounds about right for your combo. Have you been pulling any kind of trailer with it?

I'm getting 17.2 or so on winter fuel after the flash . I'm pretty happy with that.

"19 or better"... not here. I can get about 10 (hand calculated) when towing the 5th IF I CAN stay out of it. Don't run it much empty but the last check gave me 15, give or take a pooky... once again if I can stay out of it (ITS HARD)
