Duramax/hypertech mileage
Anyone here have a Duramax with a Hypertech pwoer programmer?
They claim a potential for mileage improvement, any truth to this? |
Depending on how you set these programmers up, I can see an increase in MPG.
Of all the programmers out here for the Dmax, Hypertech would be my last choice. |
Why would Hypertech be your last choice?
What would be your first? |
Quite a few guys on FullSizeChevy.com use the Predator or Edge programmers with the Duramax powertrain.
Others use a custom tuned PCM from Westers (Lyndon Wester 888-937-8371 ) or one of the other tuners. |
I had a duramax with a diablo predator and it helped a little but not much. Now horsepower was off the chain. A stock mustang would be looking at the tailgate of my 4x4 crewcab! I was never happy with the fuel mileage!

My pick would be a TTS.It will give you 500 rear wheel HP but requires tranny or clutch modd's. The Edge,Predater,and Quadzilla seem to be popular picks.For more info go to thedieselplace.com.

Re: Duramax/hypertech mileage
Thanks for the update.
Did this come off thedieselplace.com? I have been reading some of the diesel forums and everyone there is out for hp and torque, not fuel mileage. I live about 800 miles north of Edmonton Alberta and make about 4-6 trips a year, mainly empty. I love the 310 hp and 590 lb/ft when pulling, but I would love to be able to detune the power for mileage when running down the highway empty with the cruise set at 70 mph. So for $150 he will send me a new computer with programming I want. I think I will email him. |

It may be there, I pulled it from FSC this morning.
I'd call him directly, it is much easier to get ahold of him on the phone. He did my 5.3l Vortec tune for me :cool: |
Re: Duramax/hypertech mileage
I bought an Edge EZ, which claims to have better mileage when left in positon #1. I will see when it arrives!
