mpg help
First get ride of the k&n I've heard bad things about them. Is it a drop in or a cold air intake? If it's a drop in get a cold air intake. And get an 4inch turbo back exhaust. Where did u get ur tuner or tunes?

You can't stack chips on a 7.3L...
Is your truck lifted, bigger tires, etc? If so, take those off... |

I am having the same problem, how are all these other guys claiming to get 16 18 and even over 20?
I think everybody needs to take a second and realize these trucks weren't made for economy, they were built to work... If you guys are looking for 30mpg, i've got a honda parked outside I'd be willing to sell you... |
I understand they arent meant for economy but I know these trucks can get at least 20 mpgs. and yes its a cold air intake!:)

I have hit 20mpg one time and that was doing 65 on the highway for the entire tank and that was a bone stock truck... I average 15-16 in town and 18 on the highway...I drive an OBS though. |
I was seeing 12 or less in town driving with 2 eggs under my foot, leveling kit, 33" tires, 4" 2000 or under, maybe hitting 30mph by the time I get to the next light, in a 45 or 50 zone.
|
I just drive it... 10-14mpg... Is what it is... Thing weighs 8800# so...
|
my 2wd 95 dually gets around 17.5 mpg on highway with 4.10's and riding between 65-70mph, and i get around 12.5 hauling an empty 40' g/n weighing around 16k total empty. i have a mild ts chip, k/n cold air kit, and exhaust. 142k and counting. adding cenpeco diesel additive picks me up about 1mpg believe it or not.

fuel milage and power dont dont go together
my front license plate frame says"THERES MORE TO LIFE THAN GAS MILAGE" i can get 18 mpg on the fwy.at 65 mph. but......I love to use my trucks power 40 inch tires,4.88 gears, its a 2000 f350 7.3 dp tuner programmer,turbo,injecters,pump,heads,ect... this truck can move a house!!!!! why would i ever compromise that kinda power to save a few dollars at the pump? Ford claims to get 30mpgs out of there new trucks maybe you should look at trading in your truck? As for me i will keep passing all you as i pull my toys up any grade! I heard the toyota preuis gets good gas milage
