jeez if we should be concerned with payback why did we buy a RV ??
We have several that alway hollar snake oil or won't work or.............../etc and never used the product.
The question is "do performance mods make a difference". What diffrences were needed or desired ?? Everyone has their own needs or desires when it comes to refueling boxes for our new gen diesels.

hahaha - it sure does sound like he does, doesn't it.
Yep, I do. I made my first performance mod in the early '70's to my first diesel engine. Since then I made mods to other engines until 2004 when I decided I'm done. I'm done swapping engines. I done pulling heads, trannys, replacing driveline components, etc. All those years the unmodified vehicles gave me great reliable service.
Now I am older, slower, lazier, and hopefully smarter. If it takes me longer, so what? If I can't pull a 30% slope so what? I'll enjoy the scenery as I go a different route. The money I save I'll spend with the adopted grandkids.
I can still fit into a little car at the local Acres of Fun. I may not win but the smiles on their faces, the hugs, the laughter, their begging me to spend more time with them is worth more then the most modified, souped up rig anyone here can come up with. Happy Camping!

I don't see how this answered any question of the original poster or offered an ounce of value.

guess I could make the same lame statement as your post did but I think both of my replies were to his request of opinions on performance mods and worth while differences with the new gen diesels. Apparantly you disagree with both my posts. If you want to continue to hyjack the OP thred PM me and we can discuss your problems as I'm sure the OP isn't interested.

IMO, the best thing you can do to improve your mpg is to keep your air filter clean and slow down a little bit. I'm also up-shifting a little sooner than I had been. I went from 70 mph on the freeway to 65 with slower easier starts from the stoplights and noticed 2mpg improvement.
P.S. that 2mpg improvement is not towing but daily driving to work.
