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?

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.
