    My 2016 1794 has 130K miles on it and I am not planning on getting rid of it. But I would like to improve my fuel economy so I would like to ask if anyone has any experience with these products they wouldn't mind sharing.
    I would greatly appreciate your response.
    Thanks

    Will only work in your mind for a week...your computer will relearn around it and you'll be back to normal...pedal command can help as it retards your pedal and you can augment how fast you accelerate, etc...no lift, factory-sized tires that are aired up and an easy foot will get your best numbers...if you have money to burn, long tube headers and a tune will be the most improvement you could make...

    What device are you asking about specifically?

    I doubt there is anything on the market that impacts MPGs significantly more than driving behavior. Less likely if your truck is modded with a higher lift and larger tires than what comes stock. Even less likely if you drive in city stop and go traffic. Driving around laden also hurts MPGs

    A throttle controller might help but will net you very marginal gains if any at all. You wont get the "up to +20%" gains some claim. They can also throw your truck into limp mode.

    Without knowing your specifics I would think highway tires and driving behavior will net you the most MPG impact.

    @dirtydeeds made a post about mods that benefit MPGs recently, I'll see if I can find it for you.

    Also a note about the throttle controllers some of them can trigger a limp mode. Pedal Commander specifically, its been noted in a few threads.
