Big Mileage Drop?!?
I have the reflash done about 3 weeks ago and noticed that it gave me pretty good mileage(17-20). After running for 2 1/2 weeks (2200 miles) I put the BD Power Pup back on to see if it would help or hurt the milieage. It went down big time (14-16) on the lowest setting. I bumped it up the the performance setting and the power went from good to holypoop! but the mileage stayed about the same. I reset the truck back to the "stock" setting and the mileage is still the same 14-16 mpg's ... ***... Has anyone else had this happen? Do I need to take it back tot he dealer and have it reflashed?
I also noticed that after I reset the truck to stock I check for DTC's and got 1.
P0602ECM
Any help appreciated

2 Weeks ago I was hand calc'ing it and got 17 to 19 >> but I am noticing the fuel gauge dropping a lot faster. Not changing any driving habits.... Maybe bad fuel? Changed fuel filter 5K miles ago
I will change it tomorrow again

You probably did not get your stock flash back.
I know it is back to stock, but it is most likely just a generic flash for you part #.
You will probably have to go back and get the truck reflashed to whatever it was before you downloaded it.

Sounds like you need to get your Power Pup Upgraded. I sent mine back about a month ago for v.1.55. The tech I talked to said this version was to get rid of the P0602 code and update the stock flash to the latest TSB Flash. FYI the pup does not save the stock file from your truck, but does have the latest Diamler Crysler Flash for your trucks part number. This means if your Pup is older than the latest flash was released it will have the old flash on it. Heance must send the pup back to get upgraded when you get your truck reflashed at the dealership.
