Hello folks!
I recently purchased a 1999 diesel F250 (2WD, auto, longbed) to haul my home--a 5th wheel RV, but it will soon be my only vehicle so I'd like to make it less of a money sink to drive around town when it's not towing anything.
I've already removed a lot of heavy junk that the truck came with like the front ramming grille (lol), step bars, toolbox, and the conventional rear tow hitch. It's time to move onto the next thing but I'm not really sure where to start, and I don't want to spend a lot more money improving its fuel efficiency than I'll reap in fuel savings since I'm not a really heavy driver (< 10k miles/yr). Also I am just a cheapskate in general. Can you say Saran wrap tonneau cover?
The truck came with a Bully Dog programmer which shows MPG, but I'm pretty sure it's miscalibrated since it showed like 40 MPG on the highway drive home. I hand-calculated closer to 20. Do I need a scangauge, or will this thing do the trick?
Thanks, everyone!
