Lost 20% Fuel Econ w/ New Turbo
2004 F350 Auto w/ 40,000 miles
Just had the turbo replaced by dealer after a failure.
My fuel economy immediately dropped from 16.5mpg local (2 lane mostly) to 13.5 mpg.
Dealer says 13 is "decent," and I am being unrealistic.
Maybe, but where did my 3.5mpg GO?
I have the following DTCs
1) P0275-60 Cyl 5 Contribution/Balance
2) P0402-60 EGR Excessive Flow
3) P132B-60 Turbocharger Boost Control A Performance
The truck "feels" normal, but gas mileage sucks at $3.89/gal
Any ideas? This happened RIGHT AFTER the turbo replacement-
Thanks,
Bob

The only indication after the turbo change was the mileage loss experienced on the following, and subsequent tanks of fuel.
Certainly the dealer should have run a diagnostic after the turbocharge change, and should have caught at least the P132B-60 Turbocharger Boost Control A Performance
as being associated with the turbo system they just worked on.
