will this programmer give me better gas mileage in my 2005 dodge ram 1500 with 5.7 hem?

It helped my 2008 dodge nitro. I got about 2-3 mpg better plus it shifts firmer.

I think it would eventually because once you feel how much quicker the truck will be with this boost in power, you won't want to baby it anymore. It really gets rid of that factory 7.3 sluggish feeling. Way faster throttle response and quick off the line.

I have an 09 f150 with the 5.4. I've got the Edge CTS, a K&N CAI, throttle body spacer, and custom exhaust. If I drive with a light foot I see anywhere from 15-17 city and I've gotten 23 hwy with it set to "economy." On the hwy though, anything above about 70 MPH and you won't see that good. I did tow a 4 place Seadoo trailer from CA to Utah and was getting 19 mpg using the "towing" program. The programmer is compatible with the K&N intake. When you run the setup you can select between a couple different CAI's and it will configure the tune for it. Overall I'm pretty happy with it and seen 3-4 mpg increase on both city and hwy. Hope that helps.

final gasoline grade depends on which tuning you choose.I chose the 87 octane tune and have not really noticed any gas mileage inprovement. I combined the tune with a air intake system and the truck has move punch but not better gas mileage.

Mpg won't really increase to make a huge difference. My silverado went up by maybe .5 mpg that's it.

I have a 06 ram 4.7 and I saw about 2 more mpg but that was also with a tune up

There is definitely a noticeable increase in power off the throttle but I really didn't note any significant improvement in gas mileage, but I added a lot of extras to my truck at the same time that increased the weight such as a sports guard and winch and larger tires. I would look at adding the Fitch Fuel Catalyst for better gas mileage. It is a couple of hundred bucks, but worth every penny.

I have a 2011 Ram 1500 & it worked perfect. Dodge dealer has to program it.That guy was alittle miffed that I didn't buy from Dodge. But those keys are $$$.Hope that this helps. Bev

Gas mileage is possibly 1-2 mpg better. However, I mainly upgraded for improved performance, which is noticeable.

Yes it will I am i ford diesel mechanic for 13 years this is one of the best programmers I have owned I got average 4 mpg just from this but you also have to think of the way you drive

Nope, and if you buy this you will need a programer. Now with a programer and this, you maybe able to get slightly better milage, i love mine, it sure takes a lot of stuff out of the engine bay.

I have a 2013 with a cold air intake. This programmer works great. The best one I have found yet. Just with the programmer and a CAR my ext cab with a 5.3 is running 10 flats. Highly recommend. It works on 4.8 5.3 and 6.0. Hope this helps.

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%.

I only know that with the 4.6liter I have performance went through the roof and I get about 15-20% increase in gas mileage. considering that the 4.6 is a converted 5.0l I don't know if you will get an increase in the same or better way that I did. you may want to go to www.hypertech.com to get the best information.
