Fuel Mileage Help Please
#4
I was looking for people that have experience with air intakes and programmers. Trying to find which ones work best. Also would a new exhaust help and what would be best.

mmoore5187, gotts mod is the best/cheapest intake for our trucks but will not increase gas mileage what so ever...no intake will. A programmer is hit or miss as far as increasing mileage, mine helped maybe .2-.5 mpg, not a lot. The best ways to increase it were stated above by SJP. I'll add that your foot can also make a difference. Exhaust may help if you get an entire setup including headers. Replacing the muffler will not do anything for mileage.
Most popular programmers for our trucks:
SCT
Edge
Diablo
Superchips
You need to have realistic expectations as far as MPG go. You're driving a full size truck with larger than stock tires. I have the same make/year/model as you and get 10-12 mpg, 95% city driving with 265/70/17's.
