Upgrades and Aftermarket - 6.0L EngineUpgrading and adding aftermarket equipment to your 2003-Up Super Duty or Excursion with 6.0L Power Stroke diesel engine. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 6.0L Power Stroke engine.
I am curious to know if any of you guys with air intakes on the 6.0 have seen a increase in mpg? If so what kind of intakes are you using and how much of an increase are you seening? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]Thanks ahead of time.

I think folks are just trying to decide what level of MPG it might make. They do help as air is still free and more of it will increase MPG, but being able to prove it is tough. My truck varies by as much a 5 MPG depending on driving style and what I am using of for at any one time, I imagine others see the same. Intake and exhaust are going to improve MPG, by how much is the real $50.00 question. Hope this didn't just cause you more questions, if you need any help call us.

I have the afe pro guard and the 4" exhaust and I didn't see any help with mpg at all. Just came back from a 1100 mile trip and got 14.32 solo. But was bucking wind all the way back west from NE to CO. Boost was running 7 to 15 psi most of the time. Going east it was running 3 to 5 psi most of the time. Around home here I get a little over 18 mpg. Guess I should stay off the interstate. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

Heard that too but always forget to ask when we place stock orders. If they do it will pricey I imagine as they will have to do even more work than they did on the 7.3 Stage II as the 6.0 engine bay is pretty tight already. Time will tell and I will try to remember to ask for you.
