i have a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 cummins diesel. i know there are many different upgrades out there but i need help choosing one. i was looking to get some gain in horsepower and torque. i also wanted to gain more mpg because here in Hilo, HI diesel costs $3.95 per gallon.

 

First thing you should do befor adding fuel is gauges. If you dont have, you can get anolog ones or you can buy something like the edge juice with attitude monitor or the quad addrenaline with its monitor and you will get gauges and power/milage.

 

Try an edge ez, it will bump your mpg up abit and it adds about 65hp and not sure on the torque. It is a good box to stack with later if you want more power. Check out the classifieds on here theres usually one or two for sale cheap. Gauges are also a good idea I got mine from dieselmanor.com they have a pretty complete kit it gives you everything you need for install and a few extras just incase.

 

Maybe my EZ doesn't work but I've never seen a mileage increase with it. I drove like a grandma before and after the fun was done like a grandma after and I still only get about 14.5mpg hand calculated mixed hwy and city.

It will blow a cloud of smoke at low boost and there is definitely more power when I want it but I personally don't see the mileage increase. Trust me my tq converter is going out so I'm not on the skinny peddle and still 14.5 mixed driving.

Good luck.
