feul problem on 08 450!!!
HELLO ALL new to the forum. I just drove from MIAMI to NEW YORK and back!, spent $1600 on fuel!!!!!!!!! what can I do in order to get better fuel mileage?? I have spoken with BANKS power and a couple of other companies out there and nobody has anything new. I drove at a speed limit of about 68-71 usually on cruise control on I95 and the mileage clock showing me 10.6 mpg nothing less! Is it possible to get rid of that damn particulate filter, I believe that is the cause for the horrible fuel mileage. Has anybody out there heard of anything new? I have also spoken to some of the diesel mechanics at these ford dealers and one specifically told me that "FORD" has become smarter and that if you try to do anything to this engine that it has a self preservation chip that will kill the ignition not letting you drive! "bull****!"! this mechanic probably thinks he is FORD! But any information will sure help from all of you aout there in F450 land!!!

Hi and welcome to FTE.
I`m guessing there are a few things that can be done for fuel economy that I`m not aware of so check in the diesel forums for help.
Be sure to drop your intro in the local FL chapter soon: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum116/
