Sounds like a device that was designed to turbonate the money out of your wallet. I don't know what it is but I wouldn't waste my time on it.

Drumlinecowboy, save your money. Better yet, give it to me.
I see that you have an F250 w a 4.9 and a T18. That's a pretty good setup. That's what I have in my F150.

Blow the dirt out of your air filter with compressed air, and youll get better mileage savings then this thing will ever get you. Spend the money on gas for your truck.
