Was thinking about buying a chip for my 6.0L 2009 GMC 2500 HD. Just hoping to get a little better mileage pulling my trailer. Any suggestions for what would work best?

Hey. Talk to mike hunt from here. We both work at the gm dealer in rocky.

He does custom programing which is way better than a chip.

His cell is 4038461009.

He off this week on holidays so give him a call next week.

Go with custom tune, it will be the only chance at getting better milage.

With my F-150 I had Intake, Dual exhaust and Edge chip. While pulling the same load,down the same roads, I would still get the same milage. HOWEVER it would maintain its speed WAY better.

Meaning ...more power same milage.
Which is a fair trade off.

Like others said... You are not going to get any fuel mileage gains. You will just get more power and better use of the transmission with a custom tune.

Custom tune. I self tune my own stuff with EFILive. I almost guarantee you will see nothing for mileage increases worth mentioning. With your L92 headed 6.0 liter you will have more top end power.... but the low end will still be pretty doggy. Just the way it is.
