Re: 6.0 FUEL MILEAGE
Hello Folks, its been awhile since I visited, and I wished I had.............. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
I have the 04 6.0, and did not know about the "reflash" which has produced VERY unacceptable results in my 6.0, both in mileage and power. I was getting before reflash, 11 - 12.8 towing horses & carrying a camper for a total of approx. 11,000 lbs.......... Now I get 7.2 - 9.5 with a LIGHTER LOAD!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/vomit.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] Unloaded, driving at 65 - 70 I now get around 14-15 mpg.
My questions are........ (And I apologize, I have not followed this issue and threads) .... What are my options to get back my power and mileage, not necessarily a chip, I mean as stock. My ford Master mechanic (who is outstanding to me) has mentioned not much Ford can doo to reflash it back to the power and mileage I had when i purchased it.......... I am not interested in a "Buy back" since in all other aspects, I ADORE this truck, much better than my 2000 7.3......... ANYONE??
It looks so far my only option is a chip. I probably will doo it later but I'd rather get what I paid for as advertised from Ford when i bought it (ie: 325 HP & 575 Tq)
Thanks in advance.
