Hello, I`m looking to improve my MPG on my 2002 F350 7.3L. I use the truck to drive around town and tow a 12,000 trailer about 6 hours per month or so. I wouldn`t mind adding a bit of power also, but my main concern is MPG. Has anybody have any "real world" advice? Right now I`m getting about 14.5 MPG and about 11.5 towing. Which chip would work the best for me?

Thanks

 

there have been several extensive threads on this topic. if you do a search u will find a wealth of knowledge.

 

Bump to follow this thread.

 

I don't know about the best, but mine is a 4 bank Bully Dog with several mods. Kwik filter, air heater delete, ccv mod and a growing list.

I just made a 2800 mile 3 day trip to Boston from SW Alabama running at or a little over the limit with revs usually at 2500 and with my 4:10's I averaged 17.6 (calculated). Not bad, huh? OH yea, it was in the economy performance mode 90-100 hp and who knows what torque.

 

That IS good seeing as I can only get at best 14 at the same rpm empty. Hmmm.

 

I get 17 to 18 on mine empty running about 2000 rpm and about 11.5 to 12 pulling a 16000 lb trailer. I have a 2000 7.3 with a Banks Stinger Plus pkg. Don't know what it got before the pkg as it was on when I bought it.

 

After reading a Mileage thread, I noticed that Steve_250 has been running a mileage thread and maybe it should be noted that my 350 has a rigid aluminum roll back toneau cover over my 5th hitch.
