What is the average MPG before and after using this tuner? Is this a good reason to buy it?

The Edge doesn't really provide an improvement in MPG. For that you need a chip such as the Smarty Jr. that disengages certain components. The Edge just tells you what's going on in a substantial number of engine parameters.

B.R.: I don't get any drift with this tuner. I even use the radio in my office- a small room full of computer equipment and once I get a clear reception (by turning the radio this way for stations to the north or that way for stations to the south) and rotate the antenna I get clear reception for hours.

No, once you upload it you can unplug it. I love mine! Currently have it in the 93 performance, maybe one day I will upload another tune lol!

You will definitely notice performance but I trul don't care about mileage mine is same with or without the tuner

I use it on my 09 Charger R/T and with all the options i can run a 1/4 in 12.1 secs. you have to bring your vehicle to a dyno to get your hp/torque. Mpg is based on your driving habits so you still wouldnt get an accurate answer. But with my 5.7L V8, when i use the mpg booster i can get about 25-26mpg on highway, 16-17city. But thats with a CAI and exhaust. If you do plan on using this tuner for your vehicle, i would recommend you plan on putting a performance a CAI and exhaust on your vehicle To get the most out of the tuner for the cost. You will also get more power and mpg with a CAI and a performance exhaust.

I got one for my 2005 Chevrolet Silverado and I love it. I originally got it to correct the my speedometer and shift points for the larger tires I put on, but I now use it to read and clear dtcs, increase mpgs or performance based on tune, and even for monitoring certain readings. If you want something based on pure performance you may want a blackbear ecu tune. But for versatility and on the go changes, this can't be beat.

on fuel economy mode no change in mpg (same) i run now 87 performance what a power diference lower end gets a lot of kick ,it realy shows serious power on 93 performance but i dont want to run 93 because of $ per gal so you'll be happy with 87,i got that unit just for towing i tow 6 k boat than it burns less fuel and pulls way better up hill here in new england would highly recommend cortex (only) nothing else ,my last truck dodge ram with flushpeg waist of money no change in power stay away cortex kicks a.. Buy it and enjoy it

On the highway, with the gas saving tune I gained a couple mpg. It does really good with premium fuel. In the city it's not that great. If you drive a lot of highway/freeway miles then it's worth it. I put dual flowmaster super 40s and a K&N; on it as well and if I drive right I can get 18+ mpg on the highway

According to flashpaq sure it'll work, is it worth the money? NO this tuner leans out fuel and I had a lose of power in my ford ranger. I confirmed this when I placed it back to stock. Spend the little extra money and by the new SCT tuner x4 7015 (which is made for your truck) I felt a huge low end torque gain and it lets you change the air fuel ratio timing and a multitude of other parts of your engine yourself. It's worth every extra cent you'll pay for. Look at eBay for prices around 300-350$ selling brand new you won't regret it. The flashpaq is a waste of money

Generally speaking, you should get a better antenna before trying to amp a relatively poor one. Modern tuners are fairly sensitive so on a short run your concern is usually too low a signal to noise ratio, so by using a better antenna you should have higher SNR before amplifying it if that is even needed.

Yes, but the best results will be obtained by taking it to a competent dyno tuner. I have substantial experience with several different tuners/programmers including the V&H; Fuelpak, the Power Commander III and V and the Mastertune. The Mastertune, to me, is the least user friendly but allows you to adjust an impressive number of variables.

I think that since it operates on 10m and 12m, without a tuner, it should "tune up" with a tuner...........may ask the dealer for sure

The performance is amazing in my truck a Duramax diesel, it keeps making power the more you push on the pedal! I keep mine on the performance setting and I love to feel it and hear it when I take off so it hasn't helped my fuel mileage, but I think it would if you drive normal.

I have only seen slight improvement not mpg, maybe 3-4 mpg more. The big improvement comes from horse power and torque.

Get the H&S Mini Max. If you do something else, you will need another tuner. Rudy's diesel out of NC. Costs $1800, but it will do everything you need it to.

At first I noticed that it dropped from around 40 to 36 or so. But that may have been due to me twisting the throttle harder because of the performance gain. Since then my mpg have come up to average around 37. But the reduced heat and smoother engine operations are worth the small drop in mpg in my opinion.

The tuner is awesome, it's the one I would have bought anyways. I'm not sure if they have changed it since I ordered it but the one I got automatically callibrated to whatever note was being played, so it was much easier to tune than having to put in what note it is before you tune it.
