I just installed the PPE level3 program on my 2007 classic LBZ. I went from 15.6 average MPG to 21.4 mpg with an incredible power increase!!! I am so thrilled. Also on my truck is MBRP 4 inch cat back exhaust.

I have just ordered a front pipe and egr blockoff plate, and craiglisted a banks power ram-air intake system for 200.00 which is lightly used. Hope to see even more increases!

Impressive. Are you still running stock tranny?
Whats your average speed?
Do you have a heavy right foot?

Stock tranny, I do have the de-fuel during shifts enabled with the PPE. Average speed is 62mph on Pennsylvania roads... Lots of hills... OK. Heavy foot driving is 15-17.00 mpg. Still an incredible increase for me.
