if you really just want MPG then get the max mileage. no perfomance gains but when you are on the highway you will know you are saving. it has been helping me since my drive to work is on the highway and it is starting to get cold here and starting and driving in 4x4 i tought would kill the gas milage but it is staying about the same as before i had the max mileage

the say 35hp gain with the edge max milage, if you get a programer then the dealer will deff be able to tel if you chipped it, with like an edge juice if you take it out it would be extremely hard to tell you had it there because it lies to the ecm to make it give you the power and mpg the edge box is susposed to.

Well thats good they can't find it, I checked out the link and found this on their site "
TST recommends NOT installing the PowerMaxCR computers for trucks built June 2006 and later. We are currently working on the incompatibility issues for these trucks but do not know when it will be resolved."

Are the Quadzilla modules and workhorse modules like yours at all, Iwould like it to be a set-up that they won't be able to see like yours...


Quadzilla claims up to 4mpg, workhorse almost doesn't seem legit,lol anyone runnin one?
what's the build date on your truck?

Well I JUST bought the truck my title for my old truck is being mailed and should be here today so I can pick up the new one... So I'll have the truck hopefully before I go into work tonight, I'll look at it and and let you know.

memphisii- The triple play and the puck clip into the factory connectors between the ECM and engine also so the don't act program the ECM so it SHOULD work the same at least both companies claim the dealer can't find footprints on the ECM. I'm liken the 3-play more I think because they say its undectable and doesn't adjust the timing. Its on the fly and claims not to raise EGTs, as well as being able to tow on the higher setting unlike some others that only allows 45-65 HP gains for towing you can run up to 105 HP. I will be putting in a EGT temp gauge before I tow in the mountains however....just in case

any of the programmers leave a footprint. ALL OF THEM. If someone wants to look hard enough they can find it. even the dealer.

I would suggest the power puck or quad zillas max mileage. either of them takes 15 minutes or less to install.

All Programmers and tuners will leave a foot print of some kind, there are a few that are a litle more difficult to detect without connecting the dealers computer to. Black smoke will give tuners away if they are a heavy fuel tuner, most of the tuners are fuel controllers and will blow smoke the only 2 that I know of on the market that do not blow just loads of smoke are manufactured by Banks Engineering, the Ottomind 6 and the Banks 6 Gun. You can alos look at your intake system to remove smoke from the exhaust bigger intake tubes and manifold. As far as Mileage issues depending upon where you are you may look at a blanket of sorts on what Dodge refers to as the air-to-air cooler it keeps intake heat up just a little and your fuel milage will increase by as much as 3MPG. I am curently getting around 17 in town and right at 20 on the interstate.
