step dad need to improve on mpg and wants more power in his 05 durmax what are some easy options thanks

 

Get a tune, programmer of some sort. Air intake is also a good start, maybe aftermarket pipes to get those egts down and give it some cool sound!

 

biggest bang for the buck is a tuner. Quadzilla Stealth II or PPE programmer are excellent choices. What's really great is there is a very noticeable power difference with just a tune on the Duramaxes, plus most of them also raise the mpg (if he can keep his foot out of it!).

well what kind of power is your dad looking for???...most likely seeing that he is looking for MPGs I would go with a tuner like the Bully Dog Triple dog or power pup...3 of my good friends run their d-maxs with them and have huge power gains and same with MPGs...intake of these dont make a big difference like gassers but and exhaust will help out big time...but remember...more fuel=more heat...make sure to put a set of gauges in there to keep an eye on things...you'd be very suprised on how hot things get!!...

 

If he wants more power and MOG and is not a full out racer, Get him a Hypertech programmer. They are SAFE for every use, towing, playing and daily driving. they give ya 100 horse. great bang for the buck and no worries for your dad. You get some more powerful tuners and it snowballs, You need gauges, exhaust, and lift pumps and tranny work. Good luck.

 

Get the Edge Juice with Attitude.... Easy to install, and has Great Horsepower when you want it, and will increase your mpg's.

 

couldnt agree more. i have EFI on my 04LLY which is nice to change. my dad drives the 07 LBZ more than i do so i just put a hypertech PP3 on it and he likes it. its nice for him cuz he doesnt wanna screw with looking at gauges or having to get me to flash a new EFI tune for him if he doesnt like something. either way you go, get a programmer instead of something like the edge. the trans shifts 10 times better with a programmer.

 

i got a PPE hot+2 that will fit on that truck. up to 300 extra hp. let me know if your interested in it.

 

Beware the edge on the LLY models. Its been known to shut down while driving leaving you in very dangerous situations/ Plus it shifts like ****. feel free to PM me if i can help, Ive had a few different tuners and can help guide ya further if needed.
