BEST CHIP FOR LIFTED PSD'S!?!?!?!?!?!
Thinking about getting a DP-Tuner, Ive got a 2003 7.3 with 8" lift and 37's Getting 10 MPG (Stock) in the Puppy heavy footed too, Just trying to see what I can be looking at as an improvement in MPG's or maybe there is somthing better out there for what I have
5" Exhasut Drop In K&N Im in FL, and wont really Tow much much would still like the option. Heres what Ive picked. # Position 0 No Start # Position 1 Stock # Position 2 80hp Econo - Daily driving for mileage # Position 3 80hp Tow - recommended for towing 5K to 9K at sea level and # Position 4 140hp Extreme |

Now I know getting the Extreme wont help the MPG's, Im getting that for fun.

nice rig, I have the same color scheme on my 02', also have a dp and I like it so far and the 80e gets pretty good milage and still runs good, I also have the 140 agressive for playing around with, I could probably get better milage but the new hasnt worn off yet, only had for 2 weeks

The "extreme" tunes usually net better MPG's if you can keep your foot out of them.
What gears are you running? EDIT: The K&N might not be the best choice, they have dusted many of powerstrokes. look into this- DIY Intake Last edited by stroken04; 09-17-2009 at 11:19 PM. |

Im not too sure on the gears, I got the truck pretty decked out , The guy before me had some Money to throw around and I still havent figured out everything hes done to it. What kind of MPG's are you guys getting with the 80hp or the Extreme

Stay away from K&N! Great for gas, too drity for Diesel.
Is your front bumper mounted farther out? Is that for clearance or the light bar? |

If you want some really good MPG talk to Matt @ Gearhead Automotive. Out of the different chips I have ran I got the best fuel millage with his tuning. But tuning isnt everything 90% of it is the driver. and you will still only see 1 or so mpg increase with a chip i don't care whos it is.

What are your RPM's when your cruising at 70?

I bet he has got 4.56 gears in that puppy... that will kill the mileage...
then the obvious questions are... are you reading the lie-o-meter or checking it by hand? Also is your odometer/speedo correct... that will throw your mileage WAY OFF... |

here's a kicker with my 00 7.3 on 37s with 3.73s I get roughly 17 mpg highway...kind of afraid to up to 4.56s when I do my 40's....but I was wondering the same thing, I just bought a bullydog as a starter chip...
