Is there an increase in fuel mileage with EcoDiesel?
No. The biggest issue to your current mileage is your truck has been detuned below 2200 RPM for emissions. Removing the emissions equipment does not solve this issue… restoring the power that has been taking away below 2200 RPM will help get that 15-20% increase.
Why does my EcoDiesel engine lag after AEM?
First is a significant acceleration delay, especially from stop when under a light load or uphill climb. The second issue is a loss in highway fuel mileage. My average long trip mileage used to be 26 to 28 mpg. After the AEM my highway mileage has never exceeded 23 mpg.I will be contacting the dealership soon for advice
What to do if your EcoDiesel engine fails?
A mechanic will then charge thousands to rip apart the engine and reset the timing, or replace the timing chain altogether. It’s been reported that when this cam gear slipping occurs it’s on engines with around 70k miles, which to the average driver is about seven years (give or take).
How to restore your truck’s fuel mileage?

Why do diesel trucks get less fuel mileage?
Today’s diesel pickups do have more power then ever… but the peak of that power is measured over 3000 RPM. The problem is emissions tuning robs power in your “Driving Zone” of 1400-2000 RPM which adds to your truck getting less than optimal fuel mileage.
