hey i have a 2001 dodge ram 5.9L. i just got my super chip about 3 weeks ago and i wish i would have had it the day after i got the truck. it makes one hell of a diff! most people say the 87 oct mode is crap but ive been playing with it and to tell you its not to bad to me. my trucks setup it 3.55 gears with 35" tires and it rolls just fine. i picked up about 2.3 mpg in this mode wich brings my truck up to. 17.6 mpg (mainly highway driving) in the 91 plus mode i get about 1 mpg better but man can you tell a diff in the power it will spin my 35's with ease in that setting.
i got mine off ebay from a store call loopers speed shop out of AZ he still has it listed as the 3815. but when i got mine it was the 3865 wich is the new one. but he sells them for $299.99 with $10 shipping and only took me 4 days to get it.

He could have an off road, I noticed he has off road rims. Easiest way to tell is to look for the extra "ears" on the front diff. Should have a gas tank skid plate too.

Postie1686, is that cold hard math done with numbers (odometer and gallons at the pump)? How did you figure that mileage?

lol no no need to shut it off and coast!
yes thats numbers from at the pump miles on the odometer dividedby the number of gallons put in. and yes my trip meter is set right as i reprogramed it using a gps to track my speed as my dad messed with the computer to change what ever it was he had to to get it to match. (dads a tech and used a chrysler scan tool to do it)
i think the big thing is i dont mash on the gas taking off of every stop sign and light. plus with all the stuff ive done to the truck it all adds and helps on the mpg

if thats his truck those rims didnt come with it. if it were the off road package it would have white shocks and a extra 2" spacer on the rear leafs that i dont see.

Before I got my Flashpaq "fixed", I was getting 12 to 12.5, 95% in town.
Forgive me if I've already told you this postie1686, but that throttle body spacer isn't doing anything for you. Just an expensive paperweight you have on there.
Glad you can get such high MPGs, its a rarity on these trucks.
