Times 2! Still waiting for results, not hype. Last chance before I remove this thread from my favorites folder. Before numbers, after numbers, and driving style,

The longer I go without hearing back from the folks who are running this product, the more I will assume it is not living up to the hype and the reason we are not getting results might be because there isn't any..

I WANT to hear back from the owners telling us all how awesome this product is so I can order one. I'm not going to order though if the guys already running it are not excited enough about it to post some results.

Box is fine to tow with.

Also, just FYI, 99% of the people that get a product (any product not just mine) and are happy with it, they seem to vanish! If you read these boards most of the posts are:

What do I do?
What Happened?
And I have a problem HELP!!!

There are a few very enthusiastic people that love to give reviews but, they are hard to come by!

The other thing you need to keep in mind is that it takes a little longer when you are measuring strictly mileage. This is one reason we gave it the 90 day satisfaction deal. It just takes longer to know if you like it.

Well I really wanted to post the mileage gains but the strangest thing happened last week. I was out in the garage working on the truck, installed Recon smoked cab lights, and the MK-2 filter kit from Glaicer. Any way my wife comes out and starts walking around the truck and said "Honey those tires look wimpy why don't you put some bigger ones on". I just happened to have buttoned up the filter install so I was in the truck in a matter of minutes and went to town and had a set of Toyo MT 35-12.50.17 out on the stock wheels.Of course that really threw the overhead, odometer, and speedo off so my mileage test has been compromised and woud be unreliable at this point. Sorry, I can say though that I installed the module right after I filled and this morning going to work I noticed the fuel gage was at a half a tank and the trip meter read 278 miles. I had the tires installed Thursday and suspect I would have about 50 miles on the odometer since the tire install. I usually got between 500 and 510 miles on a tank and it always takes between 30 and 31 gallons to fill. I am sorry I can not be more specific but I didn't want any one thinking i was neglecting my duty to report back to the forum. I am going to make a appoint for the truck to have the front end algined and will have them recalibrate the speedo and then I will start all over.

I have an XZT+ on a 2nd gen, but the timing only setting on mine should be the same as the Max Milage program. I do 70% stop & go and 30% highway when I'm not towing and I netted a 1.6 MPG increase.

Mine should be here tomrrow (very fast from thoroughbred diesel) and it was free shipping. I will have about half a tank left to run through then after a run through the next full tank I will post results. I am currently getting about 17 with 305 tires and my driving is city and up to about 50 mph on my 15 mile drive home.

My Mileage Max arrived yesterday and installed it in about 25 minuets .Started truck up did not notice any change in sound at idle. Went for a spin and truck runs a lot smother from 1200 rpm’s and up, did not notice anything in the seat of pants department but that is not why I bought it . This weekend I will be making a 1200 mile road trip so Monday I will post the mileage, my best highway run was 17.8 so we will see how I do.

I have one question about the module does anyone know what the small white & black wires that come out of the module are for????

Is the milage max the same for a 03 and a 04.5? I have each of these trucks and am wondering if the same box would work for both. Maybe get one just to see how it works on each and compare.

How come it won't hurt the drivetrain at all?...even if you floor it around all the time? What does it add for power? How does it achieve the mileage gain, timing or what? Sry for so many question but yeah I want mpg like the next guy but I don't wanna have to sacrifice the truck to get it lol.
