get a programer like edge or bully dog and simply un plug it when you go to a dealer, thats the easiest, right now i dont think anything is being offered yet for your year truck, but i can be wrong, anybod else like to chime in?

I agree with dukeboy a programmer is the best way to go but id go with a hypertech programmer. Just go to hypertech.com and go to performance gains and see the hp and torgue gains. Ud probly gain another 2 or 3 mpg too

Well, if you care about keeping your warranty, I WOULD NOT recommend this, but everyone I know that's done it says they've gotten better mileage. Remove your cat & DPF. You'll probably gain 3-5 mpg by doing that, but unless you re-flash the ECU, you'll probably get some error codes.

i would go with ts performance mp-8. its just a plug in module that doesnt leave a foot print in your ecm. smarty is also almost done developing theres that also doesnt leave a foot print so if you can wait for the i would. the problem with edge and bully (im not sure about hypertech) is that they leave foot prints so the dealer can see that you had something even if you unplug it before you go. ts performance adds the same HP as the edge and the smarty will add more then that.
