i need to find out a way to get a lot better then 8 mpg out of my 96 f350 srw any suggestions ive heard a lot about ugrading the turbo housing and a ts chip any suggestions?

 

What size tires do you have and what gears?

 

33x10.50 and stock gears

 

stock gears are either 3.55s or 4.10s. you have some other problems, you should be somewhere around 15ish

 

it is a 4wd

 

do you know of anything that i can check or clean that would help in this situation?

 

Switch everything that holds oil to synthetic. If you are running aggressive off-road tread tires, they will suck up several mpg. What else is sticking into the wind, rear rack, big mirrors, etc.? All effect mileage. Are your injectors all popping correctly? Many issues with wiring harness under the valve covers that effect performance & mileage. Exhaust plugged up or undersized? How much extra weight are you hauling around that you don't need to haul?

Questions above can show some mpg improvement if addressed.
