05 F250 6.0 FX4 superduty with 80,000 miles on 37" pro comp tires and 6" lift is only getting 9 miles to the gallon city and on freeway I get 11. I have talked to other diesel owners and they all say they get anywhere from 14-18....any advice would be helpful

to the org, Litletex. Fuel filters certainly could cause this problem. These trucks live and die (quite literally) based on the maintenance or lack thereof. A good rule of thumb is to have your fuel filters replaced every third oil change (~15,000 miles) if your running dino oil and every oil change if your running synthetic.Oh, and I've gotten better than 20 mpg highway with my SCT tuner. You might consider that, but it will also require several other mods to ensure you don't blow your engine. |

Filters clogged won't effect fuel milage, they effect fuel pressure and low fuel pressure - below 40 psi is a bad thing...that will knock out injectors which is by far worse that bad milage.
I would suspect your milage issues are from the huge tires/lift and possibly to high gear ration on the rear end. If you just got this truck used its a good idea to change the filters, all the fluids, etc just so you know they are good and stick to a maintenance program thereafter. |
