Hi All, Did a little work on the truck, now I don't need to floor it going up small hills and still drop down below the 45mph when cars are flying by at 70. And get bad MPG. I get great MPG now and I can keep up with the safe speed going up hills and not have to speed going down to make the next hill. Just keep it in OD and set the cruze. it keeps it right on the mark. That eng break that the truck came with works great. Slows the rig down just nice and eazy. Just like that 18 wheeler I drove hauling propane out of IN.

So...what did you do?You must have put a Duramax in it....

I don't understand going 45 mph up small hills

Your sig says "all deleted"...was that your magic bullet or had you already done that and still experienced the performance issues?

Huh? I have an '06 5.9 cummins bone stock except bullydog controller set on lowest setting and K&N air filter. Pull an 18k# horse trailer up big hills (6%) all the time. Can easily do that at 50-55 mph and average 11 mpg doing it.

Your using a SRW truck with 40' triple axle TH with toys probably running close to my 18k#. I am a dodge fan but you got too much trailer and not enough truck. Need DRW and 4.10 axle for that load.

I'm thinking he did the DPF & EGR deletes, and added the H&S tuner.
