KDMAX pro tune MPG results

Yes, I know there are related threads. Tired of sifting through 400-page threads looking for this info.

THIS IS A THREAD FOR 3RD GEN 6AT OWNERS TO SHARE EXPERIENCE WITH THE KDMAX TUNE, SPECIFICALLY HOW THEIR MPG WAS AFFECTED BY THE TUNE. Don't care about your performance or how much more you like how the truck drives (everyone feels the same about this), just about your MPG results, what kind of driving you do (highway going 55-60 is a lot different than highway going 70-80).

Let's hear it!

For reference, I just put on a 2 inch lift and have 32 inch c-rated 255 ko2s and took about a 2-3 mpg hit on highway due to the truck holding lower gears longer. Thinking a tune might help it stay in 5th+6th better at highway speeds and recover some gas mileage.

 

dont forget to press the ECT Power button

 

Lol, no matter how specific you make your post, someone always comes in to say something off-topic. ECT does not help MPG. Thanks though.

 

your right but it holds gear a lot longer when you press the Ect , according to you holding 5th and 6th longer equals better mpg on highway

 

It holds lower gears longer. Which is the problem I'm trying to fix.

 

it seems like you know already, get a tune or put into “sport mode” lol

 

Yeah, thanks for absolutely nothing lol. This is a thread for people who have the KDMAX tune to share their MPG results.

 

Heavy tire = mpg hit.

 

My god, people just can't help themselves. This thread is for people to share their MPG results with the KDMAX tune. And my new tires are lighter than the previous ones I had on the truck. Next...

 

your welcome , everyone knows you get bigger tires you will take a mpg hit .tune and a regear can help a little . Theres no secret formula

 

Not looking for a secret formula, or for speculation as to why my MPG has dropped. Looking for people to share their direct experience with a product I'm looking into getting. Bye

 

bye felicia dont forget to take an advil lmfaooo

 

I have 35s, bumpers, skids, sliders, 5.29s and OTT tune and I get 12 in town and 16 freeway

 

did you put the gears on at the same time as you did the tune/mods, and if not, how was your mileage before the tune?

 

No gears and 35s were after the tune. I had the tune and 33s and then I was getting 18mpg

 

So did the tune bring your mpg up or down and by how much?

 

Down idk how much because I was immediately driving more aggressive for fun. Plus I'm 6mt. Most people do the tune for the AT shifts anyways.

 

Oh and you can go back to stock tune anytime.

 

just buy it , make sure its done professionally and you break it in properly. Like i said it may or may not help mpg . But the purpose of the regear is to get more power back you lost because of weight / drag. Results may vary because of weather , altitude et etc

 

Here's the true answer:

Some people see a slight increase, and some see a slight decrease.

I believe I have satisfied your requirements from your first post.
