I have a 2005 3500 4x4 SRW that I bought about 2 1/2 years ago with 90,000 on it, I'm about to hit 150,000.
I have a fairly strong reason to believe that the computer on this truck has been programmed, for two reasons, one it has a lot of power compared to stock duramaxs I have driven and second when I bought it the truck already had a AFE intake and exhaust and there are hookups for EGT and boost gauges already (who would go through all that and not do anything to the computer?).
What it really boils down to is I want get more MPG's out of this truck (I consitently get around 16 mpg) and I'm wondering if this thing has been programmed for power or if it already has an economy tune on it. I am thinking about getting a chip or tuner and don't really know where to go from here, need some direction from someone who knows more than me!
Thanks
