Can anyone tell me the real MPG gains after installing the EDGE Juice programmer? I am currently getting around 14.3 MPG without a programmer installed and hear that people are seeing a 4 MPG gain with the Edge

LOL...I doubt that is being truthful. Is that 14.3 City driving??

Any mods done to your truck?? What is your tire size and lift if applicable??

Truck has full 4 inch exhaust and cold air intake with stock factory 20 inch wheels and tires that would be 14.3 city

I'd say you are doing pretty damn good for city driving. Any HWY numbers?? LWB or SWB??

Be happy with 14 city....I doubt you want to spend the money to gain 1-2mpg. Your HWY MPG should be up at 17+.

If you get these trucks out on the highway and keep your foot out of it, you can get 20+ mpg. I have gotten 21.9 mpg, but I was going so slow that you could watch my hair turn grey. Any thing over 18 is good. I am running stock.

The sweet spot for the 6.0 is right around 2100 rpm's if you have 3.73 gears. My 6.0 that I wish I still had, got 14.6 city and 21 hwy with 35" BFG AT with a SCT tuner from jody.

Are you regretting getting your 6.4? The grass is always greener on the other side...
