HELLO I HAVE A 1999 F-350 CREWCAB, LONGBOX, 4X4, 3:73, SINGLE WHEEL, 6 IN LIFT and 6IN EXHAUST I was wondering if anyone has converted to veggie oil yet, I am thinking I might. I was also wondering what chip works the best to improves millage. By the way for all you ford owners out there I average 22.5 on a flat surface driving 58. In town I average 16. I drive alot in the summer with the truck and on 300 mile trip I average 20-21 with out a chip. I have been told that the 6.4 has plastic injectors and the 6.0 block cracks around 130K; my cousin works at a ford dealer. I know alot of people where I live have kept the 7.3 because the 6.0 is shit. If I where to buy a new truck I would get a Dodge, But I love mine to much to ever get rid of it.

The biggest advantage to using the air bags over booster or heavier springs (which I have used in the past) is that I have a good ride at all times, loaded or unloaded. I have had no failures in the air bag system in 87,000 miles. I would highly recommend them. Don’t buy a “good cheap” set as have some other drivers I know.. They are neither good nor cheap in the long run. I also use a very good set of tires which also improves the ride and stability of the unit. |

| I drove to Dallas from Houston this weekend. I have a 2005 F-250 PSD. My turbo quit giving boost (gave very little) and it took forever to accelerate from 60-80. Had the issue start about mid way through the drive up. Now everything seems to be fine. Drove all the way home and during the whole weekend with no problems. Any know what the issue could have been. | |

I just bought the above vehicle and I am wondering the best way to get fuel milage. I was debating on putting in a chip, or doing the K&N filter kit. I have heard on the the diesels that fords factory filter system is as good as, if not better than the K&N If a chip is the way to go, what is a good one to go with to get the best milage and power? Thanks

Replying to: willyd88 (Apr 25, 2008 10:26 am) First of all the stock air cleaner is not the quality of the K&N product but it will suffice. Lastly, the best program out there to chip your truck is the Hypertech. You can go to their website at www.hypertech.com. This program will increase power, torque and MPG. But, be realistic. You have a truck and it weighs a lot, your mpg will never be over 18mpg. Good luck Troy |
