Dude I wasn't doubting ya, Its just not the same engine as the Vin H version (The Magnum, Charger, 300C) A truck is totally a different animal for fuel MPG. Personally I Drive a truck that barely gets 12MPG a 93 Landcruiser. This tread was started of the Challenger version the 6.1L version and I have only real world tested the 5.7 version (Vin H) and it did get 23 mpg on 2 different cars. |

It's cool. I'll be the first to admit I was a little surprised at the crappy mileage it got. But like I said, I didn't buy it because I was mileage conscience. If you ever read mileage statements on window stickers, they are based at 55mph. For every mph past 60 you lose .5 mpg on most vehicles. I read that in a fuel mileage study article not long back somewhere on the internet. And from watching, it's pretty much true.

| To be Honest with ya customers that have the the 4.7L in a Dakota/Durango claim about the same Mileage as your getting. I see your in Iowa so the climate is pretty close, winter kills MPG. But I do love all the new Technoligy going into the new cars. Its my bread and butter I own an auto repair shop, and have a BS in computer science, the more computer based the better! |

I'd like to get one of those programmers and a chip for it and change some stuff but it's still under warranty and I don't wanna take the chance on them voiding it because I messed with it.

You havta realize the engineers that designed the system have tried to maximize efficentcy,reliablity, and performance to a point, changing that changes one of those. Under warrenty I wouldn't risk it. Had a customer today the blew up his 6.0 Ford Diesel pushing it to far, was under warrenty but his mods ruined that now hes pocketbook is paying for a new engine. Not only is he out the price of the Bully Dog piggyback chip but now hes out a working truck he uses to plow snow and landscape, Till he replaces the engine.

I only buy Japenese. I don't have the patience or cash flow to buy a north american clunker.
My dream car is a mid 80's Porsche 911 (yeah I know, German). |
