RE: Anyone using a mileage module ?
Well, the place I bought it from refunded me $85.00. So I kept it. Already installed it. Took about 15 min. went for a quick 30 mile trip on the freeway. Cruise set @ 60 mph. Now I was just going off the overhead just to see if it went up. I have not hand calculated anything yet as I have not put enough miles on it yet. Before the install, the overhead would read, on the freeway, with cruise set. 20 mpg. After I installed it, and got back from my 30 mile trip, the overhead was reading 22.5 mpg. I'm not getting excited yet. My overheadreads prettydamn closeto hand calculations. But I read somewhere else that the programmer could mess with the overhead. I don't know why though. I have been keeping a log book of fuel usage. So once I get some miles on the Quadzilla, and be able to hand calculate,and have some more accurate info. Oh ya, The website says it ad's 30 hp. If it does, I can't really feel anything. But the engine seems to run smoother.

i have one and it works well for me but i cant give you real good numbers because i'm always starting it to warm up and also running in 4x4. but even with that i am staying in the same gas mileage before winter hit.

make sure you do a hand calculated comparison... the more add ons you have, the farther off the lie-o-meter is...
