haha idk if id like it that quite!!! I love how loud my truck is
theres somethin worng there, because i know you can boost the numbers higher than 1mpg...with more power comes more efficiency....other than at WOT, but the more powerful the more efficient it runs. just dont make sense lol. Every motors different, there are some weird factors that come into play. maybe he just got unlucky with that motor??
cause i know low 20's are possible.

IDK... I'm assuming your running that kind of mileage w/ a 6.4? If not... don't just use the guys on the internet, b/c in case you haven't figured out, most are young kids that are full of it. They just like to pretend they even have the truck. His truck we ran through a number of SCT tunes. Another truck, we custom tuned it on a buddies dyno. Same results. Remember to hand calc and not use the DIC! Here's a good thread w/ some pretty honest guys running the Spartan tune. http://www.thedieselgarage.com/forum...ad.php?t=81628 Kind of same results.

My truck on the other hand is HIGHLY modified. Between the custom twin set, tranny, lift and 35's... well... it's not exactly something to pull a baseline off of. LOL.

I'm not saying you can't gain 2-3 mpg pick-up by straight piping, and tuning.... just don't be expecting 4-6. 2-3 is a massive gain anyways.

For the hell of it... my LMM

you can tell the punk kids that are pretending, and for the knowledge these guys have, they arent punk kids haha. dont make me sick all of the 6.4 guys on powerstroke.org on this thread haha!!! ill see if i can dig something up. from what ive read in the past 10 minutes, 16-17 is pretty common. if you really keep your foot out of these trucks, they will get some good milage. averages ive seen, in town stop and go, about 14.

ill try and dig something up haha

[somebodyelse5]

that truck is pretty killer lookin tho!!!

heres my baby, just for kicks

Tanner - take that big old Chevy badge off of the tailgate, would ya? That was one of the first things I did to mine and then painted the front one black.

I can't believe I just now found this thread. I personally am starting to save for the 6.7. It really sounds like it is going to be a good engine.

I have done the Spartan tuner and DPF delete on a friends 6.4 and he got about a 3 MPG gain.

I love my 2002 7.3. I can get about 18 MPG on it and about 13 MPG when towing. I have a 4" turbo back exhaust, DP-Tuner, Airaid intake, and a larger compressor housing to get rid of the turbo surge I was having. I am pretty much sticking with those mods.

14 city. Haven't gotten it out on the highway yet. I am expecting 17 or 18 on the highway.

That sounds about right, just a little less than a stock Duramax

I want a bigger garret ball bearing turbo

having some pretty serious turbo surge goin on....
also would love some Tony Wildman tunes and some stage 2 water meth

If you know anything about turbos you really dont want anything to do with ball bearings in a turbo application. Unless your part of a race team that replaces them after every race.

[Tanner]

I would have to disagree w/ this. There are TONS of BB turbo's running around in diesel trucks that you hear nothing about. The key is street aps... not race aps. Rebuilding is usually NOT an option either.

I think the reason you hear more about BB turbo's failing is usually it's on Race motors, that are pushing things VERY hard. Usually the race guys are looking for every possible edge and well.... they are pushing things to the limits. Going to a BB vs. a journal does offer a bit quicker spool up time, thus most race teams run them.

My small turbo on my twins is a Garrett BB.... and I've had no problems w/ 40K on this turbo set up so far.

That being said... opinions are like A-holes. Soooo, River Runner could be dead on, but you'll get as many gear heads to agree w/ him as you will me.

i got a buddy who says he can hook me up, sooo imgonna see if i can take him up on it!

No more turbo surge would be AWESOME!

I got the ATS ported shroud compressor housing. Got rid of my surge.
