Any increase in MPG?

What vehicle do you have them on?

I don't want to hear what the company says, I want real use figures if any.

I figure that on my trip to Glacier National Park in June I'll put about 4,000 miles on the truck. At $4.50/gal and @ 10MPG my fuel consumption will be 400 gals and $1800.00. If I can get 11MPG the cost will be $1636.00, or a savings of $164.00. If I get .5MPG increase that is a saving of $82.00. Diesel will be more then $4.50 by then and out west. Looks like the filter change will be soon.

Dodges recommended oil changes are 15,000/normal conditions and 7,500 towing. I do a 7-10,000 oil change/normal, and change oil before and after a trip out west/towing. Would that suffice with the air filter cleaning and bath? If sooner intervals..what are they.

The Cad exhaust with the chip is what most likely gave you better performance. I'm thinking about the exhaust to go along with the programmer I bought for my two last trips out west. I highly recommend the chip/re-programmer for anyone who tows for any distance. I would be interested in your performance after your test runs. I probably didn't see much of a difference towing 11,000# in MPG but sure can tell you the performance with the programmer and without is like night and day. I tried this ONLY once...I got on it from a dead stop without a trailer in tow and could smoke the tires. Also towing my 7,000# boat I have to at times be careful starting off as the tires will break loose. Climbing up hills and attaining speed...well you can't compair...start hill at 60 and without the programmer..top the hill at 30-40. And with the programer start at 60 and end up at 60, that is with my 5th wheel in tow.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

I was reading up on the chip and they make a statement in the instructions that with the chip alone (Diesels) they can increase HP an additional 120+ HP. I have no experience with auto and truck diesels, but you might want to give John Boyden a call. Tell him Tom Brewer referred you, he is a great guy, and will steer you in the right direction even giving you some options after finding out exactly what your trying to accomplish. This is all John does for a living, and I trust him like he's family.....

Boatjob, as for the programmers/chips.  I've bought several from John at Speed Unlimited both gas and diesel.  What I'm running right now is a Diablo Predator and they range from 100 to 150 hp max on some of the newer models ('07-08).  I'm currently around 460 hp and 800 ft/pd torque and averaging 17.5-18.5 mpg around town with my Duramax. 

If someone is thinking about running one of these, they are great but there is research and reading you need to do ahead of time.  IE with the diesel programmers, it's pretty common for guys trying to tow with a programmer set on the max hp setting to burn up the tranny, rearend and turbo.  You have to put it in tow setting to do it.......duh....but some guys just like the hp I guess.

i was a diesel tech at a ford dealership for 3 years and now i work on heavy duty diesel. why?

Scary stats:

a. The number of physicians in the US is 700,000.
b. Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year is 120,000.
c. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. (US Dept. of Health &Human Services)

Then consider this:

a. The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000 (Yes... eighty million!).
b. The number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) is 1,500.
c. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188.

Statistically, doctors are about 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

FACT:

NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS A DOCTOR .

Alert your friends to this threat. We must ban doctors before this gets out of hand.

How so????? They have BETTER filtration than a stock air filter which should extend the life. I would suggest that any decrease in the engine life you might see in diesels with K&N filters on them have to do with abuse, neglect or other improperly installed/tuned performance products (Like people creating a severe lean condition when they try to remap for maximum mpg).

Have you ever seen this????? You really have to go nuts with the oil to screw one up. I know of two instances where people had MAFS problems after installing K&N filters. The first drove on dirt roads regularly and wasn't cleaning/servicing his filter properly(dirt was the propblem not oil) the other one didn't read the instructions and had used an entire 8 oz bottle of oil on his filter each time he would sevice it. After he cleaned his intake and seviced it properly no problems.
