Q: I just bought a new 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Crew Cab with a 6.6 liter Diesel. I tow a 36' trailer, and I don't get very good gas mileage. Are there any products that can improve my gas mileage without sacriificing horsepower and torque?
Ricardo, Rockford IL.
A: I can understand why you would want better gas mileage from your truck, especially pulling a 36' trailer. Banks makes great diesel performance products that will not only improve your gas mileage, but increase your horsepower and torque dramatically as well. Banks Six Gun Bundle is one of the best packages on the market for diesel motors. It comes with:
- Six Gun Diesel Tuner
- Speed Loader Upgrade
- Banks Ram Air Filter
- Dynafact Pyrometer and Boost Gauges
- BigHead Wastegate Actuator
- Monster Exhaust
- Owner's Installation Manual
This is a complete package that comes with everything you need.
There are diesel performance products available from Bully Dog, BD Diesel Performance, and Granatelli that will help performance as well, but cost less than the Banks system.
