HAS ANYBODY CHECKED TO SEE WHICH SETTING(40,65,85,100) ON THE PREDATOR GIVES YOU THE BEST FUEL MILAGE,I KNOW 85 AND 100 ITS HARD TO KEEP YOU FOOT OUT OF THE GO PEDAL BUT OTHER THAN THAT,ANYBODY?

i wouldn't think the 85 or the 100 as they smoke a lot for me :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I would usually get about 18-19 mpg around town stock. Just got back from a 1400 mile round trip from New York. Ran the 40HP setting the whole way and got 18.5 mpg on the way up (towing an empty 2000 pound trailer). Coming back with an a load of 7000 pounds (towing 6000 of it behind the truck) and got 15 the first tank and 16 the second.

FIRELT, definitely the 40 and 60 are going to give you the best economy of the 4 power levels.

Johan, at DiabloSport, was racking up 1.5 to 3 mpg more on that 40, no load, though, on his '01 Dura.

I am running the 100hp setting and getting 19.4 mpg. That is about 1 mpg better then it did stock. It was a trip empty doing 75-80 mph. I am happy with that.

Hey, have you verified that your DIC is reporting accurately as before? Of course you may have not changed your tire and/or axle calibrations, 'eh?

Thanks!

Got my Predator yesterday afternoon and immediately put 40 more HP into the DMax.

I only did a short drive last night and then the commute to work this morning, but I can definitely hear and feel the difference.

The engine runs a bit smoother and quieter IMO, and the extra power is evident.

On the way to work today, in the usual traffic, my avg milage indicator actually went up 2 MPG from what it was yesterday. I won't know the real effect of the predator on milage until I reset the indicator.
