"I was getting an average of about 16 miles a gallon on the highway when I put the max energy programmer on it changed my mileage to 21mpg the power increase is also considerably better I use my programmer on level 2. I would highly recommend this programmer for anyone with 7.3 liter diesel."

"The ease of use is great, wish I had a few more programing options to tweak, I'm guessing it depends on your make and model. Overall it delivers performance you can feel, IMO a little pricey."

"super easy install, all prompts. i got an extra 2-21/2 m.p.g. on 87, stay away from the ethanol, even the 10% as that will cost you at least a half a mile per. plus plenty of power, i'm very happy"

"I used the programmer on my 2008 F-250 with the Powerstroke 6.4 The power increase and throttle response were outstanding. I tried all three levels and have decided to stay on level 2 for now. I have not seen any change in fuel mileage, but the truck is still very new. Time will tell. I was disappointed however that there are no adjustments available for transmission shift points or firmness."

"I received the programmer and immediately tried to use it. Had to go download the info to use it. So after all that I was in business. Programming was very straight forward. Noticeable difference in acceleration and noticeable difference in fuel economy at the 55-65mph range. A little high priced but I'm hoping the results will continue to impress me. Like the DTC reader very useful. I've had several cleared out by the programmer already."

"I purchased this to get more performance and fuel economy out of my truck. A side benefit was being able to adjust the tire size which has been bugging me as I knew my speedo was off. The programming was a piece of cake and was completed quickly. Of course right off the bat I went to Stage 3 to see the changes and was amazed at the difference. I could light the tires up in 2 and 4 wd! I went on a 2000 mile trip the day after and set the program to Stage 2 and indeed picked up a mpg or 2 and still had way more power than the factory program.I haven't tried Stage 1 yet. Overall, I'm very impressed with the unit and the performance & mpg gains I rec'd. The only thing I wish the unit did was offered more adjustability to individual aspects but figure if this was so I could mess something up bad. I would recommend this unit to anyone with a similar truck! I'm very pleased!!"

"I installed this on my 05 F250 6.0L Turbo Diesel and it has a very noticable improvement in mid to upper range power. I was really surprised the first time I mashed the go pedel! I have not driven it enough to know if it helps or hurts the fuel mileage, but is sure did crank up the power. Easiest and most economical way to add 100 Hp and 120 lb.ft of torque that I have ever seen."

"Bought primarily for speedometer adjustment for oversized tires and gas mileage. Before I put the chip on I got close to 16mpg with 35x12.50s on the highway. I got 24.5mpg driving 70 on stage 2 during a 400 mile trip while using the Hypertech programmer in conjunction with Lucas fuel additive. This is the best I have heard of for this type truck and I have several friends with other chips. I would recommend to anyone. I don't have any other mods done to the truck but can't wait to see what an exhaust and air intake will do for the MPG after I put those on. Buy this Programmer. The only negative is that it takes about 5 minutes to switch between programs and it can only be updated on computers using Windows XP or older versions of windows."

"This programmer is as advertised - at least in the power department. Installation is straight forward and problem free, INSTANT power jump on my 6.7 Cummins. I bought this unit mainly for the mileage boost, not the power. I am still waiting for the advertised gains. I went on a 1200 mile trip with the program set on Stage 2 and actually lost about 2 MPG with the cruise set at 72! My 06 Cummins 5.9 got a 4MPG gain with a different brand. We'll see how it works at Stage 1 on the way back..."

"I don't know if it was worth $400. I do have a little more power (maybe 10-15 hp), but absolutely no increase in fuel economy. You can feel the motor came alive better on acceleration, but with my 20" rims at 80mph on the interstate, I think the fuel ecomomy may be a little worse than stock. If I could have sampled it first, I would not have purchased it. On a positive note, I do like the ability to adjust the top end limiter. It's probably worth about $125, not almost $400."

"when fuel got up close to $5 a gallon I purchased this hoping to get more mpg.s well I did while towing my motorcycle trailer (9 feet tall and 7 feet wide X 14 feet long) I went from 9.5 mpg to 14 mpg. at 65-70 with no wind. 12-13 when in the wind. on program level 2. Don't think that I will use level 3 at all. It sure made my truck haul a$$ but felt like it was beating the snot out of my $5000 transmission! I only use the truck on weekends for racing so we will see how it fairs."

"I had some problems programming because of a CAL not found error. After emailing tech support with the calibration number that wasn't supported, I didn't expect an email for a few days. To my surprise it was less than a day for a response and the engineers had an update ready for me by the second day. All went well except I found out later that it works better(more power) with your factory mass air flow sensor than aftermarket MAF's which have caused pinging and check engine lights with other customers. I'll be swapping my Granatelli out for my factory piece I kept and hopefully get even more power."
