Ok i have a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 with an 8.0 liter V10 magnum. It has a 5 speed manual tranny and a leveling kit 3 inch body and 33 inch procomp xterrains... as you probly know, the gas mileage is crap...ave of 10 to 11 mpg on a good day. Without changing gears or anything real major what can i do to help out mileage. I was looking for a hand tuner but im not sure if they even make one for a v10 gasser.

 

well with what you have and seeing as you still get 10-11, consider yourself lucky...

but best bet IMO would be a full header back exhaust

 

Exhaust is the biggest restriction that most V10 owners take care of, also for a tuner contact Hemifever he can hook you up with a SCT tuner.

 

it has true straight piped duals all the way except the catalytic converters and how should i contact hemifever

 

he is a member on here you can pm him to get ahold of him or email him at hemifever@aol.com

 

Honestly Don't know if your going to get much better than that. I hear alot of owners get around that, I definitely get under.

You can start small and give it a tune up (plugs, wires, air filter, etc).

As others have stated, upgrading the exhaust may help, I plan on doing mine this summer seeing as its about ready to fall off....

After all is said and done, you may see an mpg increase or two.

 

thanks for the help guys

 

I say leave it stock. It is meant to haul and tow. I bet it will get 10 mpg loaded too which is pretty good. My dads chevy 3500 dually 454 will get 10-11 empty or loaded with a fullsize truck on a trailer.
