I bought a minivan for the wife and now we don't need an SUV...would consider partial trade for extended cab 4x4 Truck and some cash. just message me with your offer. I have put alot of work into this vehicle, I hate to let it go but I find myself needing a truck with a box on it more than the SUV. Can take Transformers decals off for new owner if requested.

Did the performance upgrades help the fuel mileage? What improvements did you notice with the chip? Vehicle price? Thanks Z /

Well, when I plugged the chip in I went for a 3 hour drive and gained about a 3rd of a tank. compared to without it.

there is more throttle response with the throttle body spacer, and I imagine I am getting around 25-28mph

I haven't put on the headers yet...but that will improve it a little more still.

I am asking $8000

25 - 28?
That must be miles per Imperial gallon, not US gallon.
In US gallons, that's about 21-23.
No offense, but I'm skeptical of that!
I wonder if you actually calculated based on mileage readings before and after a fill-up.

well...sorry for making you a skeptic...

All I know is that when I added the Chip I got more torque and a BIG gain in fuel economy on the hiway...

I filled up 2 weeks ago and all I do is drive 12kms to work and 12kms back plus about a 8km round trip to church on sunday, which is 256kms of in town driving so far and no other driving...and I have about 1/2 a tank still left...so if your 5.9L Durango can get APPROX:512kms per tank IN TOWN. then I guess all that money I spent on upgrades was for nothing.

LOL, glad you're doing so well!
But seriously, calculate the actual fuel economy...none of this "half a tank left and I drove to church and back X times", stuff ! !
Give us a real number.
Inquiring minds want to know
