More Power

My F150 just turned 13,900 miles and it seems to have more power now. Has anyone else experienced getting more power when their truck turned more mileage?

My 05 SCAB FX4 started getting better fuel economy after about 10,000 miles, like my 2000 and 2002 F150's. Power did increase on my other F 150's a small amount, but not much. I've been running a programmer since around 6,000 miles or so, so I don't know if the power has gotten better on the 05 or not.

I'm hoping the mpg increases though it isn't that bad now. The power increase was a added bonus. Thought about running a programmer but need a few other things first.

Best power and MPG should be after good break in 20 to 25K miles or so. I will be
looking for ways to get better mileage - induction, exhaust and maybe a programmer!

I have been noticing the same wiht my truck. I have a 4.2 with a 5 speed and it has about 2500 miles on it but I think I am just learning to drive it better, because it is a little early.

Im sure most of you already know, but for those that dont, I will remind you. Regular oil and air filter changes, and proper tire preasure are some cheap and easy ways to make sure you are getting every mpg out of your truck. Low tire preasure is a killer on mpg. But I'm sure most of you already know that.
