Hi, I have an 08 F150 Screw with a 5.4L and no mods. I was wondering getting the evo worth it for a daily driver? I am not searching for performance gains but would like to see some mpg improvements. On the highway doing 75 mph I get 15 mpg. Will an evo improve this? I do tow an travel trailer in the summer. I do like the idea of using it as a tranny temp guage. In regards to the tranny temp is the evo going to be accurate?


Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

 

Yes, i may help your mileage, but not everyone's. Yours is a little low, so probably will. Yes, the tranny temp is accurate as is the engine and oil temp. Also, the voltage. I love the gauges. The towing tune will help you greatly, but I strongly advise to get the Gryphon, which is the same hardware but come with custom tunes. The better downshifting alone is worthe the difference in cost. I have had both for a total of 53,000 miles.

 

Thanks for the reply Bluejay, how much more of a difference will the PHP tune make to the edge?

Cheers

 

x2 on the gryphon...lets just say it will definately be a noticeable difference....the cost is 400 plus 30 for every tune

 

Is the "noticeable difference" in performance or mpg gains?

 

Get it! I love mine so much

 

Get it but I never get 16 driving over 65 mph. I get about 17 driving below that on the highway, but when do you ever drive that slow on the highway? ha. Probably won't do anything for gas mileage.

 

Mine has improved my gas mileage substantially

 

I don't see a MPG increase when not towing. When I am towing, I see a 2MPG overall improvement vs not running it. The gauge package alone is worth it. It is accurate on voltage, and all temps. It is a nice change from the glorified idiot light that Ford calls a temp gauge. MPG empty is 15 in town and about 18 on the interstate at 70MPH. it used to be 14 and 17 when I first purchased the truck. I have seen as high as 20 on long trips with flat land.
