wow was i nervous, but i did it! i installed the max energy last week on my dmax. installation was a breeze and it fixed my speedo which was off 5 mph due to 285 tires. anyway, there are 3 levels. i went with the second. i was mainly interested in a mpg increase. it appears i gained 2-3 mpg with the hypertech. i can tell a slight increase in power, but not overwhelming. i have not tried level 3 and dont plan on it.....at least not right away. i cant wait to hook up and pull the camper.

i reset the DIC and its been over a week now.

 

Unfortunately you have fallen prey to the scam many people fall for. The DIC is not corrected for the fuel histogram changes. All the box tuners omit this, leading the consumer to a renewed belief in miracles. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

well heck, i feel like a sucker. a friend of mine was wondering if my difference in mileage was that i simply re-programmed for the correct tire size and if my DIC was off the entire time before the program anyway.

fill up the tank, with no programmer, drive as usual, see how many miles u get at the half tank mark. then fill up again, load the tune, drive as usual, see how many miles u get at the half tank level. not exactly error free, but if your getting 2-3 mpg increase u will def see a difference.

no tune lets asay 180 miles per half tank. with tune...maybe u will get 220+ miles per half tank?

If you were 5mph low on the tire size, that would equate to about 7% less distance in the MPG calculation.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
