i just traded in my 1992 dodge diesel for a new 2006 slt quad cab 4x2 dually long bed with the automatic transmission 3.73 axle exhaust brake and towing package. the 92 was a pickup truck this new one is pretty luxurious for a truck. the 92 cummins had another 100k or so left in it im sure but the rest of the truck was showing its age. rattles and squeaks all the window rubber was shot but for a 14 year old truck with over 200k it held up very well with no major problems. my 92 averaged about 18.6 mpg empty and around 15 towing. any idea what i can expect with this one empty i usually cruse the speed limit or 70 max and towing 60 to 65 max except california where it is 55 your mileage will increase some as you work it and get some miles on it. peak usually is reached by 20k if used hard. ymmv no pun intended roy .

if it made big gains in hp and torque and you have a heavy foot it would put more stress on the trans so yeah i can see it might be a factor. however superchips web site says it wont harm the transmission so i dont know. i have the tow package as well. i also have programmed the trucks computer with a superchips power programmerit made a big positive difference in performance. mabe that could be the reason for my trucks tranny problems what do you think .
