Increasing F-350 efficiency
I'm driving my Dad's 2002 F350, (quad cab, duallie, 4wd, automatic). Till my Mom gets out of her wheelchair he's traded me for my minivan.
The truck gets 9mpg according to the onboard computer, 11ish on the highway. With fuel economy that low even a small 2-3% increase would pay off pretty fast.
Do the typical air intake, exhaust, programmer mods actually improve fuel economy if you keep your foot out of it? Wondering what works and what doesn't?
While I realize this is hardly the typical ecomodder vehicle, I'm hoping someone here has been down this road. Over on the diesel truck forums guys are primarily interested in maximum power, regardless of fuel economy.
