how do i get more mpg!!

[Jesse.James]

i read in my new issue of diesel power magazine a guy said he was getting 27-28 mpg with his psd. All he had was a programmer exhaust and intake plus it was an auto. I have a 2000 6spd, with a ts 6pos chip (i leave on 50hp) a diy intake, and 4inch turbo back farmboy exhaust. on average i get 15 and i dont run it hard altho i live in some mountains. would a diff. chip help? i saw 18mpg once but that must have been a fluke. any suggestions are welcome!

WHAT PROGRAMMER DID HE HAVE AND WHAT MOUTH OF DIESEL POWER IS IT.

If its the one im thinkin about he had an intake exhaust programmer pretty much stripped the truck to nothin it was a 2wd auto and swapped the rear gears for 3.08's

i think i found it in diesel power mag its an 02 f350 ext cab 4x4 35" tires 5" exhaust and afe stage 2 intake and a diablosport power programmer i dont think he is getting that much mpg i estimate prolly 18-22 mpg but i can tell you this i too have a ts chip no matter what level i use it on i allways get worse mpg than if im using my banks chip. with banks chip i get about 17-19 in town and 22 on the freeway. and with ts i get worse like 14 in town and 17 on freeway.

yeah thats the right article. so i wonder which chip gets the best fuel mileage? i love my ts chip but if i can get 3 more mpg ill sell it and go for another one!

yeah I think this guy your talking about had made a specail cover to over the back of his truck to reduce drag and lowered his truck for better aerodynamics and lots of other stuff
