which performance chip to get

[Rick L]

I am new to diesels and need all the help I can get. I just bought a 01 F-350 dually with auto trans. This is a work truck with a utility box on it. I am currently getting between 10.5 - 13 MPG. What is the best way to increase the gas mileage without spending a fortune. I have already put a K&N air filter in it. I have seen the chips that have 6 settings and don't really think I need all that since the only towing I do is a small fishing boat every now and then. Would I be better off with a cheap plug and go chip or could this cause other problems with the motor or tranny. any suggestions on brand and where to get the chip.

Well, gonna go ahead and say most here do not support the K and N's. Now that thats out of the way. I would go custom tunes. on a 6 pos chip. Its well worth it. Some of the larger/ better tuners are TW, PHP, and DP

I'm sure those ratios in the dually aren't helping you out a whole lot.

Unless you are leaking fuel or have bad injectors, a custom tuned chip will maybe yield 1-2 mpg.

If you aren't in love with the truck, a single rear f250/350 with 3.73s would show the greatest improvement and still yank along that boat without issue.

Get a DP-Tuner that is my choice or PHP (power hungry performance) that should help. A better air intake will help and a four inch turbo back exhaust. I would not go with a plug and go tuner like edge The edge will eat your trany in time.. PPE makes a good plug and go tuner to.
