Is there a company out there that can remap these 6.0l engines ?
Mine is an '08 which has averaged 18.8l / 100 since new. It has not improved despite adding a programmer, intake and exhaust.

There's a place in Red Deer , I hear lots of good things about.
"Lightspeed Innovations"
He was very professional when talking to me on the phone and seemed to be VERY knowledgable about vehicle computers. He even told me if I didn't like it (the re-mapping) he would return my truck to stock for free!!
I'am still worried about my warranty though.

We(the wife and I) pulled out the "Fuel Comsumption Calculator" and did real world calculation of the mileage in the old '06 GMC 1500hd and realized we are getting about 17 mpg. The wife wants better mileage, and want momma wants, momma gets (hopefully) !
So after reading everything in this post,
I THINK I might try

1) AFE stage 2 air intake,
2) Banks monster exhaust,
3) Hypertech programmer

AND drive like a granny !!!! LOL
Let me know if this is the right set-up before I order it !!
Thanks!

it should help...probably 3 or 4 mpg increase,,the thing with the programmers is that unless you have it set on premium or the max setting ,,,i didnt find it made much difference,,,try the intake and the exhaust and see if that makes a big difference,,,then if you want more,,get the programmer.Might save ya some money
