    Couple of people told me about Diesel Doctor in Effingham, IL, who does wonders to engine's ecm. Anybody got reviews on that?
    I got 500hp N14 and average 6.5-6.9 mpg running 65-70 with dry van. Is it really possible to get more mpg out of this thing? Not looking to get more power

    If you want the engine ruined why not. I didn't like his tune at all. At first it was OK. But then my oil temp went up and truck sounded different.

    He did wonders for my 3406e cat. I don't know how he is with Cummins. Seems like a couple people on here don't like what he did with their Cummins

    I went to The Doctor in Mt. Vernon, Il. with my C15. Greatly improved my power and helped my MPG. Christian fellow if that means anything to you.

    I can't vouch for that outfit specifically as I've never used them- but I second the suggestion of getting a custom tune. Get it setup to do what YOU do, not what everybody else does.

    I agree with @Ruthless

    When you plan on a custom tune, have who ever recommended the shop,guy or tune be there for the introduction. Get REAL referrals

    On a side note. Yes, a bad tune can do some harm to your wallet as well as the motor.
