Can you reprogram a 5.4/2V engine computer for better mileage?
Many folk desire to tune their engines for more power, etc. The 5.4 provides way more than enough base power and torque for my needs; Is it possible to re-tune it to get better mileage?

I worked on the shift and TCC lockup schedule, spark advance and fuel mixture, EGR function, knock sensor function,etc. It now has more power at moderate and WOT, and gets 18-21 mpg when cruising at light throttle.

You can do both. My FIL's '02 F150 FX4 crewcab has a 5.4L 2V and a 4R70W auto. It got 13-14 mpg when cruising around at light throttle when he first got it. After he had it awhile I retuned it working on several things.
