Hello, I just bought my first diesel. As I tend to buy things, I went to the biggest and best. 2002 F-250 Crew Cab 4x4 Long Bed with a topper, and the 7.3L Powesrtroke Turbo Diesel. I bought her in Ohio with 119,000 on her, drove back to Georgia after filling up. She went about 650-670 miles on 32 gallons, not completely sure because I drove straight through without a break and that's when I pulled over for a power nap. Unfortunately after I filled up, I reset the trip meter in my tired state. To my knowledge she was driving stock, is this normal? There is a Banks Six Gun hidden under the dash (the dealer didn't even mention it), and when I found it, it said error. So I'm sure it wasn't on while I was driving. I was amazed! I was driving about 70-75 MPH the entire time @2,000-2,200 RPM's. I am about to go to Ohio for Thanksgiving and just wondering, is this as good as it gets... Or will upgrading my intake and exhaust bump me to about 23 MPG? I was looking at the K&N system and a straight pipe. I don't know what pipe is best though, and would like a little input from more diesel experience. Also, would getting the Six Gun operational help? Any help would be awesome. I was driving a 2 door coupe before this that only got 16-18 MPG interstate LOL.
Thanks guys! (and girls):thumbsup:
