I just bought a 2006 Dodge Diesel. It has a 4" lift, 37" tires on 20" wheels, 4" dual stacks, black quadcab. This thing is AMAZING, but gets really horrible gas mileage!!! Anybody care to tell me what the BEST chip/programmer is for Dodge diesel trucks to help me get some better mileage?!?!

If you're rolling 37" tires on 20" rims with a 4" lift, there is NO such thing as good fuel mileage. I wouldn't guess anything over 12-14. Maybe 15-16 on the highway. Make sure it has an aftermarket intake and as stated above, a SMARTY jr. Look in the classifieds. There was one in there just the other day. Or check out cumminsforum.com

20 highway only MAYBE. I have the same truck w/deletes & Smarty jr. The jr gets better fuel mileage than the BM & I don't get 20. I tried the Quad Race o my '06 for awhile but the EGT's would get to 1650 degrees REAL fast. Went to a Smarty Sr & EGT's dropped over 200 degrees @ WOT. Destroyed the tranny several times & dropped down to the jr cause I didn't have enough self control to keep from destroying the tranny.

Dodge Trucks
I've had three Dodge trucks all 1 ton duallies and 4x4, I hvae yet to have one get twenty mpg unless I was coasting down a long hill. I love them and wouldn't trade it for anything, but 15 - 18 is about the best your going to get from one.....no matter what you do to it.
I hand calculate every tank, the overhead meter is a bigger liar that OBAMA, so don't believe it. I currently have a 120hp box from DR Performance, 4" exhaust in my 03, 6 speed stick and I average ~17.
