Opening up the intake can do nothing but increase efficiency. This includes HP and MPG. Gains in both arenas will be minimal at best, but the internet folklore of restrictive air filters limiting air, and therefore fuel makes no sense if you think it through.

On the most basic level it takes X horsepower to make the truck go X speed. Period. It takes X amount of fuel to make that engine develop that horsepower. It's a little different in a diesel since there is no throttle plate, but when applied to gasoline engines, the throttle plate it the ultimate restrictor of airflow. All a less efficient filter element does is cause the driver to open the plate further at any given speed. In a diesel, you will just have to give it more fuel.

It's basic physics

My DTS chip gives me and extra 3mpg on the econo tune. I can see the mpg start dropping if I choose stock.

Good to see some folks still using the 6.5 to tow their boats. Here I thought I was the only one. It wont pull its a** from a wet paper sack, but it does get me to the boat ramp.
