Hi guys. Looking at the PPE programmer, and would like real world real user comments. Example, what setting are most people seeing the greatest increase in fuel mileage? Also, what is the max setting you are capable of using for say doing a short drag race? And finally, I know this one has been beat like a dead horse, exhaust systems: cat back, turbo back, 4" 5"? MY only requirement is that at speed, under a load say pulling a trailer, the the noise level inside the truck is about what it is with the stock exhaust. My wife told me if I put another loud exhaust on my truck and we pull the 30' trailer over the mountains again she will kill me. All opinions welcome here!

Thanks!

I like my ppe. hot +2 on 90 hp. I saw a 2-3 mpg increase pretty quickly with it. I also have 4" silverline turbo back with muffler. Noise is not a problem.

I run my PPE on level 4 and get 14.2 so I am not complaining. Exhaust is stock for me.

 

[StompinRound]

PPE level 4 here...all the time

I don't drag race though, but will punch it now and then

I get a couple miles over 400 miles on every tank, generally 20-22 gallons on each fill

so 18-20 mpg average for me

I have been running mine on level 3 for abought a month now. I gained 3MPG with just the PPE Hot+2, Still onley getting abought 15MPG though, City, Highway mixed driving.
If I could keep my foot out of it I think It would be more like 17 or 18MPG!!

 

[TYREBOYZ_DEMAXIN]

when i was runnin a set of 33-12.50R18 Nitto Mud Grapplers on my LBZ i was only getting 11-13MPG all around runnin the PPE HOT +2 on level 6 and now i have the 265-75R16 and jumped up to 14 around town and 18-20 on the highway.

[ripmf666]

I love my PPE Hot+2 ET, They no longer sell just the Hot+2 its the ET only.You will want atleast a transgo Jr and a converter, I would get a 4" turbo back exhaust,And some gauges, You will never look back.Pm me if you need any help with a anything from PPE.

 

[tlcmetrokc]

whats diff between the 2? why not the hot 2 anymore?

 

[ripmf666]

They did away with just the hot+2 and now offer the Hot+2 Et only makes it easier for them I guess, Might have luck getting a used hot+2 but the ET is alot better, no defuel on shifts and a extra lv

 

[Gasuout]

love my PPE tuner, I run it hot most of the time 10.

when not into the smoke 7, still quick as hell .

when towing i run it on 2 or 3 . my mileage is usually always around 10 mpg

and I run a shuttleworth big rig muffler 5" and rest of
exhaust is 4"

usually level 3 max reccomended for a stock trans.

PPE is a good safe glitch free tuner.wouldnt use anything else .

the ET is a non defueling programmer on the 225HP level and up so you will need to a upgrade to the tranny to run the ET +2..i have a PPE HOT+2 LBZ that i would sell for $850 it has the 350HP tune that defuels and i've been running that for the last 25K miles on my stock tranny and never limped it.
