I know you have a newer truck... But what are the balance rates on your injectors???? Could you have a boost leak????? Ive heard about some leaks on the charged air cooler. from people.. might be a place to start....

Yeah I have been battling leaks also. Mainly after egr delete. Around the bridge. But u need to have someone look at your tune if u find no leaks. I own a landscaping company with a few 08-09 1ton duramax dumps which weigh 10k empty! and loaded, pulling, or empty never seen anything under 10mpg. Most of the time its 13 no matter what job there doin.

I am running aftermarket wheels and tires. 305/55R18. Today when I was driving to a pull I noticed that my truck with the cruise set at 68mph is boosting 8-10psi..that can't be right?? Off topic I won the pull by 25ft and got thrown outta the stock class! With a bone stock truck! Haha. Guy says there is no way that can be stock, you beat my nephews dodge by 25ft! Haha. How do I check for a boost leak?

I bet that is where your mpg is going... 0 boost at crusing speed is what you want. Like I said try a different tune

I was playing with it when I left the pull to go get fuel (imagine that) haha. I can set my cruise on 35mph and it will boost like 4 or 5lbs..

If everything mechanically has checked out, have you tried contacting your tuner about this issue?

I know you said it is a respected tuner, so he should be more than willing to help you out and try to fix this problem!

my truck with the cruise set @ 70 will occasionally hit 2-5 psi but no more than that while cruising. Many members have said try a different tune and I recommend the same :thumb:

My truck use to see 15-16mpg in town, and about 18-19 highway.. Well now I've been getting 10mpg in town and about 16 highway.. Any ideas? Trucks got efi live, lift pump, and a tranny. I drive in my street tune from duramaxtuner, and I run a cat fuel filter.

i would check for low pressure fuel leaks man. even a small little steady drip will kill mileage.

Also, please try a different tuner before you sell the truck.
