Yes I did the delete. We are on our way to Jackson and so far I'm getting 25 miles to the gallon. Needless to say I'm happy.

Howdy Mike. I"ve heard doing that delete really wakes up that 6.4, in power and mileage.

I ended up with 22.7 MPG round trip. That is a combo of city/highway and some idialing. Way better than 14 combo that I was getting. It is hard to drive for miliage when I have all of that power.

From what I've read it's not a necessity to do a intake other then to hear the turbo. They say the oem box flows more than most aftermarket kits.

Does ford offer the AIS kit for the 6.4?

I'll be fine on the tunes i'm running. On the higher hp tunes the stock intake is too restrictive. It will suck the filter minder in and the air filter light will come on.

So its not a real hurry for the air intake.

Good morning Louisiana! I've been told you really only need an intake, if you go to a bigger turbo. The stock filter is the best protection you can get for the intake system, and isn't all that restrictive.

On the 6.0 that is right. On the higher tunes for the 6.4 it will suck in the filter minder and the air filter light will come on. I dont plan on going any higher on the tunes right now.

I'd like to get one around 200-225, and call it good. Waiting to get my FICM replaced, and I'll look into that then.

Morning La. It's been a long night. I've been awake since 5am yesterday. I need sleep and we still have 190 mile to go.
