how can i get better fuel milage?
 
I have a 1997 ford superduty (450). It has a 4.63 gear ratio in it. Right now it gets about 12 mpg. And weighs around 9000 lbs.

intake, exhaust, and a light foot...a chip will help...but you gotta treat the skinny pedal easy...if you chip/tune the engine get some good gauges for it...hth

If you don't absolutely need the gearing, put in 4.10

step 1, lower final drive.
step 2, try to shed some weight if you can.

never put in a 203 T stat. all it does is sky rocket your oil temps and kill the life of it. royal purple is also a joke, WAY over priced and not worth it. scheaffers is the best oil you can get.
