i am looking for a tune safe for a stock tranny. Mainly looking for better fuel mileage with decent power. My truck does idle quite a bit because i work in construction. Any input would be great and i also ocassionaly tow about 12000 lbs, thanks

How much extra power do you want?

2006 Duramax ECSB - Banks Monster Dual Exhaust, Tie Rod Sleeves, Kennedy Twin Deluxe Lift Pumps, Edge Insight CTS with Pryo, EGR Blocker Plate, PVC Reroute, Suncoast Stage 5 trans with 1056 triple disk converter, Cognito Steering Braces, PPE Race Valve, LML driver side exhaust manifold, AFE Boost Tube, Stock Drop-in BatMoWheel, ProFab Performance 3" Downpipe, Other mods along the way, TUNED by ME... Way too much fun
Mainly just mileage but I would say between 50-100
Do a search for the Mcrat 20/20 tune(google) and timing calculator how to in this section, should accomplish what you are after.

is it easy to do, i am very unfimiliar with hp tuners. also do i need a bigger exhaust truck is still all stock
Its not to bad. Read the instructions, if you have any questions ask.
Probably should check out a Duramax forum before you get too far along there.Originally Posted by 02ss
Stock airbox will be fine 4" exhaust helps out. But the 5 spd allison is hurting with much more then 80hp make sure you lift on the 4 to 5 shift. Most need to think what they want in the long run a good tune will make a truck so much nicer to drive.
