if there is a better chip, I'm not aware of it . I have a 2500hd with a 6.0 L gas motor, K&N air box and filter. I programmed the chip for Towing. It definitely added Throttle response. But I can't say Ive noticed any mileage improvements. With the performance enhancements I think I drive the Truck a little harder. Also the chip requires premium fuel. Bottom Line if your trying to save money on fuel you'll probably be disappointed.

Anytime you increase horsepower in an engine you stand to abuse the tranny, rear-end, and tires along with everything else in the suspension. It really depends on your personal driving habits. If it's a Ford 7.3 you're driving, I saw a terrific increase in power with my 96 F350 with the 100 HP kick. A WHOLE LOT OF FUN. Would have liked to have seen better mileage but only have a single 4 inch exhaust out. My drive habits did not see an increase in mileage if not lost some. A friend of mine drives a 2001 or 2 Ford Exabition with this programmer and has increased his mileage 20-25%.

There is no horsepower gain if you just add an air intake. You will feel a much better throttle response and I did gain about 0.7 mpg. Very easy to install, highly recommended!

Hard to say, my flashpaq increased my MPG by 2-3. Every vehicle flashpaq combo gets different results. Also depends on what settings you use with the flashpaq. Hope that helps

I put this tuner on a 2007.5 Silverado with the 5.3. Already had a K&N; cold air on it. Put a lift on truck with bigger tires and was getting 11-12 mpg. After the install of Bully dog, I am getting 14-15 mpg. Really just wanted tuner to help adjust trans after bigger tire install but gas mileage is a definite win. Also reads codes on engine.

I really couldnt tell you. This was bought by me but for a relative, he has an 2006 Silverado 2500HD. I wish i had more information for you.

Not a whole more but the truck will operate better. I purchased a Diablo sport programmer. I have not seen anything better then 13 mpg. I have a 2013 f 150 5.0l 4x4. However my truck runs better then before. My 2 cents. Keep me posted on your purchase plz.

I installed this in my 1999 2wd 4door and you definitely feel a difference. It's best paired with an aftermarket exhaust system. Together, you get better throttle response, torque and a small increase in fuel economy. Unfortunately I can't provide numbers other than about 2 mpg better than when my truck was stock. Blazerforum.com has a lot of members that can help give you more accurate numbers if you need. Good luck!

If you have increased Tire size it will also take away some Torque, but yes, this will most certainly increase performance. Remember to reset it back to towing mode if you are towing it also has a performance mode, plus a fuel economy mode, i do like mine it does make a difference also a K&N; cold air intake will help improve your performance as well.

The hardest part of the install on my '06 Avalnache was finding a circuit that was always HOT. Other than that the install is straight forward. I can't say that it will improve the sound of your truck - I dualed my exhaiust to acomplish that, but I can tell you about improved fulel economy, I avergage close to 22 mpg hi-way and I don;t baby the pedal.

Unicorn... When i bought mine i noticed a tiny bit of power increase only on the lvl 4 tune. I think they rate it at 25 hp gain, and 24 ft lb torque. The thing i really liked about it was it had firm shifts all the way through 3rd gear. Definitly going to help if your towing. But if your looking for just hp increase overall i would get a blackbear tune. Wont get number like a diesel but it will definitely help.

I use it on a 04 Tahoe w/ 5.3.... I run the performance program most of the time because it seems to have the best mileage and performance overall.. I did run the mileage program recently on a 800 mile trip and I got about 2 mpg better than the Performance program, but the responsiveness was definitely not there. for any type of towing use the tow setting.. I've tried towing even a light trailer with a couple of quads and I get a check engine light.. When you scan for codes it shows a lean fuel code for whatever reason.. Never had that happen with the Tow program..

I have a 99 Silverado 1500 5.3L and i was getting 18 MPG. However i put a 6" lift with 35" tires on it. My MPG dropped down around 13. After i put the programmer on i usually get 15 MPG driving conservatively. However, after i perform a oil and oil filter change, and clean my K&N; air filter i will get a high 17 MPG for several fill ups then it starts dropping to 15.

Sorry, but I returned the item because I did not notice any difference w/ my mpg's. I also had and returned the k&n intake system. Both were installed at the same time and taken off at the same time. Hemi's are just horrible on gas!!!

I have an '06 2500 4x4 ram with the 5.7. I have only been using the 87 octane tune so far. It hasn't changed my over all mileage with this tune. At least its not worse! I did gain a little in midrange acceleration though. I am not sure if this particular tuner will work with your truck though. It would be best to contact Superchips and have your VIN # ready. Their customer service should be able to tell you for sure.

Yeah I just bought this for my brother for Christmas. He has a 2007 5.3 sierra 1500. This is a awesome product. You should expect about 30 hp and 2 mpg more than stock. Main difference is in the transmission shift points it keep pulling through the gears. Unlike stock where the shifts are really smooth and you feel like your losing power. Also there are a ton of extra gauges and features to help track your trucks performance.

Well, I have the 6.2L engine in a half ton quad cab with 33" tires and it gave me a very noticeable amount of power. Approximately 25hp but with that and the change in shift intervals it hauls the mail and pulls like a son of a gun. Only thing I have to say is make sure that you place a jump pack on your battery or a battery charger while it uploads the tune. If the voltage drops too low at any time some files will be corrupted, causing nothing to work properly. This happened to me and I had to reflash the PCM at the dealership after towing it in cause the computer was all jacked up. As long as you give the battery extra juice you'll have no problem and customer service from edge is great.
