If you mod this engine with some part produced by some fly by night company that spend probably about 2 weeks engineering the part, you wil BE OUT OF WARRANTY if the part causes damage to the engine. Fords Official Position on this engine is NOT TO MOD IT. You should have signed a form at the dealer when you took delivery outlining your understand of this and other items regarding this engine. Mark.

Replying to: mschmal (Aug 20, 2007 7:56 am) The form that I signed said that chipping or reprogramming the chip in place does NOT inherently void the warranty and that warranty services would be denied only in the case that whatever I was claiming service on failed -because- of the modification. Seems to be an entirely reasonable policy to me. I've already done a substantial amount of research on the subject and feel as a (reasonably) intelligent guy that I can determine the difference between the folks putting significant engineering expertise into building programmers, and the folks that don't. I was merely asking what others use, if they use similar products, and what works for them.

| 08 SD SB books states 30 gallon tank. Drove truck to empty could not put more than 25 gallons in tank. computer said 16 miles to empty the fuel gauge was pegged in the red. Anyone experiencing the same and if so what can be done. | |
|
Do you mean Empty as you drove the truck utill it stalled?My experience is that indicated empty or 0 miles to empty leaves a 15% reserve. Mark

Replying to: mschmal (Aug 28, 2007 3:16 pm)  50 miles to empty just as this one does. But when you ran it to say 20 miles to empty you would put 24 gallons in the tank. This one at 16 miles to empty holds only 25 and that is cramming it in. However as you state that is 17% reserve but what good is the alert at 50 miles and then 125 miles of reserve. Of all the cars with this fuel computer this is the only one that was not fairly close to being out when you ran it down to 15 miles to empty. thnks

Replying to: danuary (Aug 22, 2007 12:09 pm) cost of fuel to beat BMW from 0-100mph - $4 cost of new PSD because ford voided your warranty after you beat BMW - $19,000 cost of look on your face :-O - PRICELESS Ford has put in flash electronic recording systems and even if you remove your chip the black box will record all engine conditions and Ford will know what have you done. These engines are pushing over 20psi - in some cases as high as 35psi through the turbos. They will void your warranty in a second. Enjoy your truck as a stock vehicle. Also, these engines need 10-20K miles for break in. MPG will go to 16-18 based on driving habbits. |

| I bought my 08 F250 4x4 regular cab,long bed,6.4 deisel,6speed manual on 8/22/07. I have put 2506.1 miles on it.I have averaged 13.1mpg so far. Best tank full 14.46mpg and worst 12.02mpg towing nothing. 1 highway trip of 1243 miles "normal driving" 70 to 85 mph. I am a little disappointed with the MPGs but it sure is a nice ride | |
| Just took delivery of my 08 F350 DRW Crew Cab LB. I am anxious to see what type of fuel mileage I will get after reading some of these posts. Only 372 miles on the odometer. I will update in a month or so. | |

| My '93 F250 with 5.8L gas motor w/E4OD gets 10/16mpg city/hwy. No towing and mostly granny driving. Not impressive. | |
