Hi all, i'm a brand new Duramax owner and am interested in boosting my MPG. To my knowledge i have an LLY motor, it's a 2005 Chevy 2500HD with a 6.6L Duramax. I've heard that the best way to gain MPG is to do a new intake, exhaust and to chip it. I've also heard that chipping is an easy way to blow up a motor, which i am definitely not interested in doing. Any advice to gain MPG on my truck without causing damage to it over time would be greatly appreciated.

I had one of those back in the day, I actually liked it for an off the shelf programmer
Upgrade your turbo mouth piece, exhaust and do EFI live. If you tow efi live can get you an option to turn on turbo braking.
I had a banks programer and it dropped my mileage in the toilet.
2x on intake being a waist of money.
