Many diesel truck owners are looking for the best ways to increase the fuel economy of their truck. A common question asked of Source Automotive is, “How can I get better fuel economy?” Rising fuel costs and the strain of economic expenses are impacting virtually every home. Consumers are now, more than ever, looking for ways to be more cost efficient.
Due to the large number of aftermarket products available, often the wrong choice is made. For instance, when truck owners install large aftermarket tires, often the fuel economy and the drivability of the truck is negatively impacted. It is widely known that larger tires are heavier and take more energy to rotate due to the weight when compared to smaller tires. This can decrease the fuel economy and also make the truck feel more “sluggish.” Fuel economy can however be positively impacted by the use of a vehicle programmer. After market diesel tuners, when used properly, can produce a safe, more fuel efficient truck while increasing the power output. This is done in several ways but only one that we will discuss here. If a given quantity of fuel is injected into the cylinder and only a portion of that fuel is burned, then some of that fuel is wasted. However, If a larger percentage of that same quantity of fuel is burned, then more power will be made, less fuel will be wasted and that will result in an increase in fuel economy and power output. One of the easiest ways this can be accomplished is by the use of a programmer. A programmer, when used properly, can advance the timing safely so that the diesel fuel will burn more completely within the cylinder. The experts at Source Automotive have used the Cummins specific Smarty tuner exclusively. Other programmers on the market utilize generic programs that can be used on a wide variety of makes and models. The trouble with other programmers on the market is this, the straight six cylinder Cummins turbo diesel used in the Dodge truck is a completely different engine from the other V8 platforms in Ford and Chevy. It has a different power band, different cylinder stroke and different displacement. If your looking to increase the power output of your Dodge Cummins, ask the experts at Source Automotive for an honest opinion that will help you get the most out of your truck.
