Question Rookie upgrade question
I have an early 04 that is bone stock. Reading the forums and talking with locals I have recieved different opinions concerning chips and their ability to increase fuel milage. In the next couple of weeks I am fixing to move to Texas from KY and will be hauling seveal loads of stuff. I have heard that where a person really notices improved fuel milage with a chip is when towing. Is this true, if so what chips would you recommend?

Smarty Jr. may be just right for you... Quadzilla also has some good stuff for mileage and towing...

I feel as if I have plenty of power now, just wonder if a chip would be worth the improved fuel milage if I purchased. I have read all over this forum and it seems to be six of one half a dozen of the other.

The Diablo Predator is working awesome on the early trucks also. Plus your pay off time will be much quicker on a $300 tuner.

if your not worried about power then I would look into the quadzilla max mileage module.
