The only guy I talked to that got better mpg without a warranty issue put a topper on his truck. It didnt go up much maybe 1-2 mpg. And YMMOT is right the Cummins isnt getting much better. My brother has an 08 6.7 and averages 16-17 mostly highway with the skinny a$$ 17's they put on there stock. And he has a perma check engine light that Dodge cant figure out.

I wish there was something else I could tell you, but it looks like you just might have to get used to it. Maybe when that warranty runs out you can come over to the dark side.

And that lifted 6.4 has 10'' of lift on 38" tires. Its a daily driver work truck that also won the work stock class sled pull the same day it ran 13.2 at the diesel nats in Houston.

yeah i pulled 2nd place behind him -

A tuner software that does away with the regen and deleteing the DPF is THE only way you are going to get the mileage you want.

The frame on the 08 trucks is almost as stout as the 04 F450 frame. So yes, the ford frame is stronger. You also have to realize that the Ford is about the heaviest truck out there. Same cab config in Dodge and GM/Chevy is lighter. Heavier = hurting fuel economy.

In MIAMI, FLORIDA we don't have emission testing on cars or trucks !!! If I wouldn't lose my 5 years/100,000 miles warranty I would have pulled all that junk off by now !!!! -

Ok... just was letting you know that any of the programmers out there will be a waste to purchase for economy unless you do away with the DPF and the Regen cycles. So if you don't want to do those two, then save your money until you are ready to do away with them. -

HI YMMOT, I thank you for the advice, I want to remove all that junk, BUT I don't want to lose my warranty, I don't know how good these 6.4PSD are ???? I don't want it to break, AND I get stuck with the BILL !!!! -

I felt the same way. But In 5 years when my warranty runs out I probably wont have 40k on it. If this thing breaks in under 40k I will drive it through the front door of Ford Motor Company.

When the warranty runs out, I will remove the DPF WITH MY OWN HANDS, I'm going to rip it out !!!! -

I absolutely hear ya. I was just letting you know that you might as well just save yourself the money and wait in that case. -

I live here in south FL and have an 08 F250 lifted 8" with 37's and 20" wheels. Took the doc and dpf off at 5K miles and replaced it with a 4" powersroker67 straight pipe and 4" MRBP ss exhaust. Also have AFE #7 CIA and Spartan tuner 250 and 275 tunes. Stock mpgs 10-12 at best with the tune and a few mods including lift and tires 16 in town and 21-22 on the road at 70-75 mph. 21000 miles on the the truck and love the power and ride of the F250. Dump that dpf and tune it IMO you can always put it back to stock in 1-2 hours and take it in for service if you need to. Good luck hope this helps you make a good choice on what to do. -
