HI big-angry-hillbilly, FORD wants to reprogram my truck's pcm, tcm, & ic SHOULD I LET THEM MESS WITH MY TRUCK, cause it's running good, but I'm only getting 12.4 to 14.4 MPG ???

 

hey gunman if your not having any problems with it do let them reprogram - mine was the best truck I ever owned until they reprogramed it the first time - they have tried SEVERAL new ones since then and none have fixed it - when I got mine it never said "Cleaning Exhaust Filter" at all in the first 30,000 miles - they reprogrammed it and said that the original program would not allow it to show that - showing it had nothing to do with the price of eggs but after is when it started running like **** - they call me every three or four weeks saying "We got another one to try, bring it back up" - I'm tired of bein the sucker here

Hey txredman, My truck is running good, only **** that bothers me is the MPG, I do my own oil-change, my trucks only has 5,617 miles, and it has only regen. like 4 or 5 times, that I know of ???

 

I don't see that reprogramming will get you any better fuel mileage - yours is getting about average for the '08s - big-angry-hillbilly says his is getting better than that but he is the only one - hopefully he can give you good advice

 

I get good economy mainly based on driving habits, REALLY good fuel, additives, and a bit of a tuning issue.

I've got some fuel trim issues and need to replace a couple injectors...I'm only averaging 18-19mpg a tank right now.

What do you consider a bit of a tuning issue?

 

really good fuel and additives???

 

You know, a tuning 'issue' I plan on switching to a spartan tuner with the DPF delete after tax time.

Sunoco Gold diesel fuel, PM-17-A and PM-17-B fuel additives.

Plus I drive under 60mph most of the time, as well as have very few stops on my commute.
