he guys and gals!! i bought a 1997 f150 a few weeks back!! very well kept!! 250,000 miles lol but full over hall at 200,000!! and tranny.!!! so it runs great and looks good.. it has a 4" lift and 33" mude tires new! i no my fuel millage would not be great but wow 10.9 mpg does that sound right???? hope not!!!
have put new air and fuel filter's on!! both in bad shape. took negetive cable of and reset it.. would not ideal for a day or so with out dieing.. then it cleared up runs great!!! no egine light on every thing good as for as i no. but the mpg lol..any idea's???????? please help??

 

i'd verify that your speedo/odo is correct first, but I get about 10ish on on 02 4x4, but I'm pretty stampy.

 

What size engine do you have?

 

its not un-heard of... it sucks, i know..

 

I'd say that about right, I get about 13.5 and no lift and no big tires.

 

With a lift and big tires, that sounds about right. My son in law gets about 13 on his stock 98 4x4.

 

i knew i forgot something lol its a 4.6 and when it was overhauled he sed it was bored to a 5.0!

 

thinking about puting warn lockers on i have herd that helps any body no??? and i have ordered a gas saver RS4 chip they claim helps!! by 6 to 10 mpg!!! but that might be bull!! they claim they have a 30 day money back garnt!! on chip and shiping!!! thanks guys for the replys!!! keep theme comming

 

Refuse delivery and get your money back. Those are a scam.

 

well thanks i had allready ordered it so. i have read some good reviews on it but?? what you suggest??? and hoo do you report somebody runing a scam to?? can you? some chips work i have read and some are scams how do you no???

 

i have a 99' f150 5.4l ext cab 4 inch lift on 35's... 110,000 on the clock.... I get about 11.3 MPG

 

It's a resistor that tells the IAT sensor that the air is colder than it really is. It's worth maybe 25 cents. Not only doesn't it help, it can damage your engine. SEND IT BACK.

There are a lot of threads on this forum about this and other similar chips if you know how to use the Search function. I'm just saving you the time and trouble and telling you that you are being ripped off. If you want a "chip", buy a name brand tuner such as SCT, Edge, Gryphon, or Diablo. Those aren't chips, those actually reprogram your PCM which is the RIGHT way to improve performance and gas mileage.

We have a Tuners forum, it's the very first one on the page.
