RE: Fuel Mileage
Hey Mayfiar!! Experiment, try the different settings ...but ya gottamaintain the same driving habits for all settings. I have the diablosport I run the extreme and foundit gets methe best mileage.. go figure! There is a setting for economy/performance which is suppose to get the better mileage. Some people are reporting better mileage in the "tow" setting.... comes down to driver habits, what mods under the hood and outside the truck ie. bumpers, fender flares, tires, lift kit..... with my mods seems extreme works best for me. as for towing, I tried through the mountains, with 10,000lb TT on tow stting was good for keeping EGTs down on hill climbs, but mileage wasn't anything to brag about.

Right now I'm driving on level 2 with a boost setting on 3. If that doesn't help, then I think I'll bump my boost seting up 1 to level 4. then to 5 ...ect.
It's going to be a long haul test to find which is right for me, but eventually I'll find it. I'm just going to record my mileage on each setting and take it from there. I hope and pray that somewhere in that Edge is a setting that get's me better than stock fuel mileage.

Mostly stock 99' 2500 Quad 4x4, 285x75x16, K&N filter, with bed cover
No additives, except injector cleaner every 5K, and all synthetic fluids
5 speed manual, original clutch
3.55 gears
240,000 and running strong
I get 16-18/city , 20-21 hwy (70-75), 14 -15 towing horse trailer
God willing, will be driving it another 1.4 mil before I die ~grin~

RE: Fuel Mileage
I just sold my '92 dually, 2wd, 5-speed, 3.50 gear? In july I drove it from Detroit to Louisiana and back. At 70-75 mph, using Drews brew, I got 18-19 mpg. I just started using the "brew" before this trip. This was the 1st long trip I took it on, without pulling a trailer, so don't have prior data, but I'm sure the "brew" helped. It definitly fan quieter and seemed smoother.
