Default chips??

i have a 2000 dodge dakota 5.9L v8. I am trying to do something to get it better gas mileage. I have a K&N cold air intake in it. I heard that chips will improve gas mileage and also get more power. is a chip worth it? if so what would be the best one for dodge? any other good ways to get better gas milage?

if most of your driving is in town. try to readjust the transmission for shift points lower. i had my 3.55 gear changed to 4.1, and posi. on a 3.6 V6. my trany started shifting at a lot lower MPH. now it goes into O.D. at 35 MPH, and the RPM is at 1400. and the V6 has enough power to pull it. my MPG went from 8-9 MPG to 14 MPG. cant say it will work for you.

Go with sct tuner from sean(hemifeaver) I had one on my 5.2 and it bumped up my mpg a little. I was also running 32's.
