I have a 97 dodge truck with a 5.9 liter engine and am looking for ways of
getting better fuel economy - I have heard of but can not locate a computer
chip that can increase the mileage of the truck.

Could anyone point me in the right direct as well as provide any other
insites other than tire pressure - AC on or off - engine tune up

Thanks

Steve:

When I had my '96 with a 5.9, keeping my foot out of the pedal and a cold
air intake seemed to help...Though I'm sure just a better filter would do
you some good. If I remember right, the cold air intake only gave me about
2MPG, but it was enough to notice on a long trip.
