    hello i am new to the site and dont really know what im doing.I have a 2001 C15 6nz that i would like to make run better and get better mileage. I have been reading a little and it looks like mabye i should set my inj codes to 5232.My fls is 14 and my fts is -2.what will changing these codes do for me. I would also be interested in changing my fls/fts depending on what it would gain me.i would like more hp but my main thing i would like to gain is mpg.I read that a fls 127 and fts 0 would be a good setting.what do you think? I have the stock turbo/wastegate at 29-30 lbs. thanks

    Welcome to the site. Trim codes are over my head, but someone around here will be able to help you. Have you thought about a tune? PDI can really wake a C15 up! And if you drive it right most see a milage increase .

    Might want to post your engine questions in the garage section.

    The 7 post rule is to private message someone. You can post in garage right now. Cruise around in the garage , search pdi vs pp. Some interesting reading.
