I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations to improve the MPG for my 04' 6.0
I've never had a diesel before but have heard many things about how great they are. I just recently bought this truck for my band. We haul a 5x8 enclosed trailer and on my first trip with it I only got 13mpg (drove it like a granny too). I was a little disappointed considering I've heard many people saying they get better MPG hauling much bigger trailers etc... Love the truck, just want to upgrade the performance a bit to increase the MPG. |

Put it back to stock.... Just joking...
I had a 7.3L that ran 13 city 16 Hwy on a 7,500lb. F-250 with 1 size up on the tyres... your numbers are low...
Bully dog chip worked well on my buddy's 2006 F-250... you should see some improvements for $400 bucks or so...
I'm picking up my 2005 X 4x4 6.0 on Friday this week...
When it comes to fuel (or Mule) economy in the X case, sometimes I believe people have forgotten simple math... " I swear I got me 27 mpg haulin' my bud's boat to the lake... uphill, .... both ways!"
Yeah.... right...
Good luck
