My son in law has a 2005 Dodge Cummins with a Hyper-Tech it gives him 19 miles combined driving and he's hard on it. He does has a K&N filter plus he removed his muffler and cat I think it was the cat. good luck with your new/used truck im sure it's going to give you good service for many moons.

Straight pipe it and then put in a chip, those two in combination will LOVE your truck, and you will too! run some howes conditioner, and maybe pickup a CAI. you`ll be set for high 20s mpgs.
