Nothing better than some torque multiplication to give it a kick in the pants. Twisted Evil

I have noticed that now the truck does seem to get better mileage. Very odd. I think it was always under boost at low rpm before. Now it cruises at 1800-2000 rpm and the engine seems really a lot happier than the 1500 or so it would do before.

On my 95 powerstroke I changed from 4.10 to 3.73 and it helped my fuel mileage out on the highway but around town i think it dropped alittle

What size tires are you running? You may need a little more to get you back to being right. Very Happy

The TS chip I just put in has helped out quite a bit as well. The trans shift points are much better for towing now.
