My stock 2006 3500 has 155,000 miles on it now and the mileage is not as good as it to be. I'm wondering if a tuner box would help it and if so which box is the better one to get, I drive it empty around town more than anything else I do put it in tow mode when I'm towing my race car in the Pace 24 Ft. trailer but that is only in the summer 10 to 15 times a year average. Thanks for your help on this

Thanks for your help on this What mileage are you getting? About every third fill up I put a gallon of 2 stroke oil in the fuel, Walmart brand, super tech TC-W3. Cleans up the injectors and top end. Also added the big Cat filter, 2 microns type, and a water filter, came in a kit. Cummins recommends (discreetly) 2 microns were as Dodge says 10 is ok, wrong. Injectors will clog at 4 and there’s 3 openings in each.

The Smarty Jr. is a good option for trucks that are stock or mostly stock, They have three preset levels that are considered safe for an otherwise stock truck. I use one on my 2004 1 ton. I'm happy with it.
