Hey it would be really helpfull if anybody could give me some ideas on saving gas with a 1997 f150 4x4 with a 4.6 v8 thnks for any help.

 

A tuner and efans.

 

this sounds bad but wat is an efan?

 

electric fans. takes the place of the factory fan

 

how much do they cost?

 

there are many different kits available, or you can build your own.

 

What are you getting now? Is your truck's general maintenance up to date?

 

i actually dont own the truck yet my dads employee does and im lookin at buyin it but i want to get all these things sorted out before i buy it so i can save a little money seeing as im in uni

 

I have a 97 4.6 auto 86K and if I drive
it hard I will get 15 mpg. If I do the highway
and just cruise 65 and easy
local driving I get 18 mpg.
Leave the OD on and use 87 octane.

I don't know how much better I can get but
I will try K&N air filter, and synthethic oil next.
This is COLD winter here also.

 

if it needs a tune up you could stick a hotter spark plug in it that way the plugs are done and use the factory recommended 5w20 oil will help but the mileage gain would be unnoticable. not much but at least its a thought without spending alot on something you dont really need. otherwise air intake and exhaust.
