Cool Believe it or NOT ?

My list of mods is in my sig.
I do have a 2x4 SRW F350 W/ 20X10'S AND 325/50/20 Cooper ZEON XST's
In Chip setting 4 at 70mph at 2000RPM (40 mpg)
At first I did not believe BUT the new tire Dia. for the non OEM size tires is within 10% of what the OEM tire and wheel Dia is. AND the OEM computer
(Lariat edition) Is saying 40 MPG and the Distance able to be traveled has increased..... NO JOKE !!!!
If you have any ??? please ask
The 4x4 versions do have much more parasitic drag even though their front axle is disengaged in 2x4. I use to own a 99 F250 4x4 on 315/75/16 BFG's,
It had a 5.4L Gas Engine. It was a GAS HOG
When I switched to this PSD 7.3L 2x4 I began saving about $400-$500 a month. That was in two parts due to A. The lower avg cost / gallon of Diesel
compared to premium unleaded and B. The savings in not needing as much Diesel in order to travel my average weekly total comute. A lb. of Diesel does yield more potential BTU"s than a lb. of Unleaded Fuel
