Okay, so we all know that a Cummins gets better MPG with age. I am at 70,000k / 44,000miles. I have Mobil 1 Devlac in the Crank Case. Have had since 40,000k / 27,000miles.
I had the Cat removed and a High Flow straight trough muffler installed. I installed the AFE Stage 2 intake. There abouts I was running with 24 mpg US @ 68mph on highway (not ******** you). In a quest for more power & effeciency I was pulled in by Gale Banks advertisements about the Techni-Cooler system. ie: larger boost tube diameter, larger tank ends, better flow trough CAC system, high flow High Ram Intake... blah blah.
So in this order I installed the following products.
1. MBRP 5" Aluminized - Turbo Back Exhaust. (Nice)
Noticed alot more throttle response. MPG did not change (2000-3000k to test)
2. Banks Techni-Cooler system w/High Ram Intake. (Very Pretty)
Noticed alot more boost pressure - felt like when I let off on a hard acceleration like it had pressure built up. Kind of cool. Again no MPG change (1000-2000k to test)
3. Banks Six Gun w/ Speed Loader (switch not PDA) - Yeah! Lots of power not alot of Black Smoke like Edge. Even on 2 no MPG Change. ??? I remeber installing the 70 hp Edge on my 2003, noticed an increase in MPG, had a BD on my 2001, huge change in MPG.
Questions are: (Finally)
What else can I do for increased MPG? Why no MPG change with Banks Tuner? Even Still why no MPG change with the Technicooler? - Advertised that it will increase MPG.
Please offer your suggestions. (Except Moparmike91)
*note, I have the Industrial Injection Super Phat Shaft 62 Silver, and a ATS 2 peice manifold sitting at the shop waiting for Moparmike91 to install.
