hey i just had a few questions...
1. It i take my silencer ring out will i be able to hear the difference im all stock???
2.Which basic mods(intake,exhaust,chip) will help my mileage in the city?? i get 15.4 right now with 800 miles on the truck???, thats what the overhead says..


thats all i need help with right now.. the truck is a 06 2500 ctd auto crew cab 4wd all stock..

Thanks for the help

Jay

 

Yes, you will. It won't be a big difference but you will hear it sing. If you put on a BHAF like Drew has (i think he has a pic of it) I believe you can actually scare people with the sound...
Even if you don't do any mods, the mileage will get better over time. I've gone from ~14 to about 17-18 and I'm at about 10k miles now.
As far as what mods will help more, I'll let all the experts answer that..The more I talk about them, the more I want them and the little voices have finally stopped...[]


for now.

 

lol...what does BHAF stand for????
and thanks for ur help..

 

oh ok BHAF (Big Honkin Air Filter) lol, is there alot of custom work needed to get it in???? im new to trucks so please bear with me....

 

with only 800 miles the engine is still being broken in. . .when I drove off the lot I was only doing 13.5mpg. . .I can hit 19 if I'm easy on it.

anyway, for he BHAF, the stock box has got to go, gut the stock intake tube, remove all baffeling, and a 1/2" drill bit to re-locate the AIT onto the rubber elbow and your done. . .

I have some vids of my truck on the dyno. . .my little stock turbo is just about all you hear

 

Where can i find these videos

 

I'm still working on them. . .actualy my converter program decided it doesnt like me any more. . .one segment of video is around 191mb. . .I doubt that is even DSL friendly

 

First of all, welcome to the club brotha !! You've just bought a truck that you'll grow to love "till death do you part".

As far as being new to trucks and asking questions, don't sweat it. NOBODY asks more questons than I do and these guy's hook me up every time. That's why we're all here. No biggie !!

As far as your mileage goes, don't go by what that computer thingy says, go with hand written actual mileage. Those computers tend to be off a bit. Your mileage will increase the more you drive it / break it in. You're gonna love it !!

 

Thanks bro, yeah i hope it goes up...if i hand calculate it iget about 12-14 in the city

 

It'll go up quite a bit. 12-14 sounds about where I was getting off the lot too. I'm running an 06 6-speed that is still (unfortunately!) completely stock and I just turned 50k and I average a touch over 20 right now. I can hit 21 if I drive it just right. Of course, I can also suck down to about 18-19 if I drive it for fun
