My ECM tune is a 150hp along with the BD Throttle booster at 100%. Love this combo and I drive conservatively , believe it or not. I average over 16mpg city/hwy and barley touch the throttle.

2015 Lone Star 3500 Dually 4x4 , Levelling kit . Amp steps , ranch hand bumpers and headache rack , air bags , XD rims, B&W gooseneck , LED spots , 100 gallon fuel tank , MM3 with Warp from Double R Diesel , SS 4" exhaust with muffler.
I guess my question is why is the 120hp tune better for mpg than the 30hp tune. All I do is drive my trk back and forth to work. I tow nothing and I am getting ready to delete as well. Truck is stock except 35in tires on 20in rims. I love the trk now that the dealer updated the transmission. It shifts like butter. I hope once tuned the trans will continue to shift like it does now. Before the software update it was rough.
Thanks Dannie
I always ran the 150 and had better than the 120 but that was awhile back before 2nd gen swap
An easy way to explain
Higher HP tuning from a good tuner writes the ECM to tell the computer to use the fuel, air and power more effectively and efficiently. Ending in an overall increase in better economy and the vehicle having to work less the get to the required speeds you're wanting
Lower HP tuning is very good for keeping the truck from destroying parts especially while pulling loads
The 175hp box tune always gave me my best with a couple changes to other parameters. No trans tuning available
Right now winter fuel and WARP from Double R Diesel I'm running 120hp. With summer fuel I run his 200hp tune for my truck. Trans tuning will help a lot more for mileage when it comes out
Changed my sensors so the truck is relearning still. So far with winter fuel on Ray's 120hp after new sensors I've seen a best of 26.4mpg and a low of 16.8mpg according to the truck. Depending on warm up time, what fuel I buy and driving conditions and temperature
JJ at double r told me to remove my BD throttle sensitivity module and TS Stryker no need for them with their tunes. I've gotten use to the 100% setting any advice? Mine is a 2016 3500 rfe 68
You can leave your BD Throttle Module but pull the Stryker. We would pull the BD Module as it might cause some issues, but hard to say.

I run the 120 tune up with the ATS valve body and co-pilot along with the ATS transmission brace. I just leave it there pulling my 28 foot enclosed trailer with my Ranger and RZR in it. No issues so far.
One thing I should point out is I run 4.10 gears which helps.
