2001 7.3 powerstroke
Love the realistic point of view you have. Thanks dude. One of the next 7.3 channels. I just picked up my first 7.3. 99 250 manual trans. I’m in love with it. So are my kids.
That’s awesome bro congrats!
I have a 2002 f350 dually 7.3 stock all the way and at running 60 mph I will get 19 mpg all day long.
Spanky Ranger nice bro!!! That’s really good🤘🏻🔥💯
Lol literally just got the same thing u got any problem with it
@@NoHalfAss it's the lift.... is the lost mpg
@@jaydenhalbaedier6955 haha I know. Now I have a 14 inch lift and 40s so I went way bigger 🤪 I’m not concerned with mpg, or I’d drive something else. Lol
I'm averaging 16.8 MPG combined. The reason I watch my MPG's is to keep an eye on my engine's performance. I was averaging 17.1, but it dropped to the 16.7. I looked around, and found my intake filter had a ton of dogwood fluff on it. I cleaned it off and it climbed back up. I know it won't get great mileage, but for me, it let's me know how I'm driving and most importantly, how the engine is running.
Ken Are that’s a really good point and really smart bro!!! 👌🏻🔥💯
i used to get that type fuel mileage on my stock 02 Excursion 2wd. It has decreased to 14mpg. When i check, it's 12.
Vid starts at 4:00
🥇
thank you
Not all heroes wear capes 👌🏻💯
On my '02 excursion sweet spot is 1800 rpm which is about 65-68 mph and yes the pressure on that skinny little pedal is directly correlated to your mpgs.
Igor Ezersky nice man🤘🏻🔥
Nice vid man! One of the biggest killers of MPG on the 7.3 is leaky up pipes. Any pre turbo exhaust leak decreases boost. GTP38 turbos are especially sensitive to pre turbo exhaust leaks. Other common leaks come from exhaust manifolds rusted with holes, Y pipe to turbo connection after doing turbo or up pipe work. To find your leak check for black carbon residue around joints and fittings. Or use a smoke machine if you have access to one.
Thanks man! Thanks for the good info!
Maybe soap and water on the boots lol spray bottle of course
If I’m cruising down the highway exceeding 2000 RPM on my 02’ 7.3L I get horrible fuel mileage if I keep it under 2000 RPM I get my best fuel mileage at cruising speed on highway
jayonez 13 yup! It’s weird like that huh?! Lol
I don’t quite understand it 😂
@@NoHalfAss they are meant to run with at least some boost.
1600 will produce the best fuel mileage that’s the sweet spot but it has to be tuned otherwise it wants to downshift to keep it at 1800-2100
Get a tune
@@TheCheifslapahoe or a standard
Also another thing is to change your fuel filter every other oil change and this keeps your mpg at its best.
Randy yes! That’s exactly what I do. Some people say that’s more often than necessary but I say it’s cheap enough so why not
Best mileage for oil change light duty mostly puttering around lite duty no towing...? 2002 2WD F-350 4dr. 7.3L with automatic+ overdrive dually. Retired company truck.
MAN that’s a gorgeous truck. Clean, simple, and looks like it’s doin’ work just sittin’ there. Same body as my white one. Just like yours cept not 4wd. Love your almost totally blacked minus the bumper. Just like I wanna do mine only also with the black door guard strip down the sides that came on many of them. But first….complete my little $10k spend on it with my air/turbo/fuel/oil/motor/exhaust/steering mods, upgrades, and repairs I’m doing to run an efficient stage -. Just today got orders in for all the stuff…..mostly all thru and from Riff Raff. Have the motor out and stripped down and rebuilding it. And I’m so excited to be doing all this to my F250 7.3. Very inspiring to see yours and get a glance of a lot of what i want to do and how it looks so good.
Thank you! And that’s awesome enjoy your build!!!
I put the Banks cold air intake on my 7.3. The Intake you have still draws heat from the engine compartment. Could get you better fuel economy, Did on mine. I also have Banks exhaust and power elbow.
Charles Davis yeah that’s something I want to do eventually for sure. Especially now that I got the hydra, my truck rolls a lot of coal so I need to get more air into the system for a better fuel/air ratio
Your video was well done, your conclusions are accurate I have a daily driver I use in NYC traffic and I’m getting about 10-13 mpg block stock no tuning. Highway driving is around 19-21 keeping steady speed about 70-80 mph it seems a little counter intuitive but Overall it’s true running at 1400 rpm should save some on fuel economy but the engine seems to be more efficient and running a little hotter at 1800-2000 rpm which is probably why the fuel economy increases the heat of the engine plays a role in the efficiency.
When you upsized your exhaust system you lowered the heat and because of your thinking about bigger exhaust = better performance your fuel economy dropped off at lower speed.
I have a 99.5 2wd LB CC Dually with 4.10s. 330k miles. No tuner. Just a 5inch straight pipe, Banks power elbow and a Banks intake and I get 17.5 mpg hwy going 72. With a 50 gallon aux fuel tank in the bed. Change the fuel filter every time you change the oil, I use archoil additive and Rotella T6, and I also treat every single tank of diesel in the aux tank with archoil diesel additive. The number one MPG killer of a 7.3 is poor maintenance (dying injectors and piston rings because nobody changes their oil on time or tries to save money and buys the cheapest oil they can find). Followed by lift kits and "tuners". If you're 7.3 rolls coal, it aint running right.

See how many of yall last 100k more miles with a tuner on your shit. But hey, what do I know I'm just an ASE certified master diesel mechanic. Don't listen to me.
That monitor doesn't help your mileage itself, but paying attention to the output definitely does. However it's way over priced, for what it does. The original Scan Gauge II, does everything your expensive one does for less than have the price, and is extremely accurate. I've used one for years and never had any trouble. It does help a lot and I do watch my mileage carefully. You can save a little more for retirement if you don't spent more on fuel. You'll thank me later, once reality kicks in.
Lol I get what you’re saying bro. But I make money off my UA-cam channel, including when people click on the link and order the gauge. These videos have paid for that gauge 10x over and still produce income every month. The reality is, I’m well on my way to retirement 😉
Keep a 7.3 below 2000 rpms on highway will help. Sounds silly but when a 7.3 gets over 2 grand it sucks fuel atleast my two 7.3 powerstrokes did. It's not for everyone but I'm old and in no rush so 65-68 mph with 3.73 gears and stock tires will keep it just under 2 grand. Another thing tire psi. Keep a eye on it they may look good and seem fine but you could be off as much as 10-15 psi in a 10 ply tire and not know it. I run mine high even unloaded I run 65 psi front and back.
Mike Smith all really good info thanks Mike! Good point on the tires too, I need to check mine soon actually. Haha
@@NoHalfAss You wouldn't think so but those tires you run are robbing performance. If you put on a smaller set your truck would feel quicker. Once you do all the big things then it becomes the little detail that make a big difference. Truck looks great btw.
Change all your fluids to Amsoil.
I've been a professional heavy equipment/ truck mechanic for 40 years.
Used Amsoil in all of my equipment and my customers equipment.
The lubercating ability is great that you see an increase in mpg.
Never had less than 3 mpg increase, with changing not just the engine lube oil but transmission, T- case, rear differential for sure, front is optional due to limited use.
I took my service truck, a 1995 FL70 , 8.3 , Allison 6 spd, single rear differential, wet front hubs.
I changed all the lubes, including the front hubs , flushed the power steering, engine, transmission rear differential, greased the
U joints with Amsoil products.
Went from 7 mpg to 13.
Every customer reported similar results.
Doing just the engine customers reported 3 mpg increase.
And it's permanent as long as you use Amsoil.
They are the only makers of synthetic oils that claim a milage increase.
It's the same with heavy duty trucks and off highway equipment.
Off highway equipment you don't measure mpg but hours of operation per tank of fuel and that also increased.
A warning to those using oil wetted cotton air filters, check them often and keep them oiled.
Without the oil they are terrible at filtering.
Here in the Desert Southwest the oil on those filters will dry up in 3/4 weeks.
Nano fiber technology filters are far better, flows as high but filters better and no oil to dry out.
Thank you for the info! I’m due for an oil change so I’ll try it out!
The main thing is you're enjoying your truck and you're happy with it. Mine gets way more and I am happy with it at a all time high of 26mpg. The fun is in the use of these trucks so don't worry about the negative nuts and what they say. Thanks for sharing.
Lmao 😂 26 mpg my ass
How are you getting such high mileage?
"... there's the curb" that was me every time i drove when i had my first truck
oce lmao 😂😂😂
I have 2001 F-250 that I just got and have only checked it twice. Did 400 miles one day with some freeway and some mountain driving and I got 14.9. I cruised at 65-70. Generally at 2k or less RPM.
fishin n flyin nice bro! I get about the same but with only hwy driving so that’s a little better than my truck! Lol
Fabulous video! Keep the 7.3s coming
Hmmmm. . . .. I get 14 to 15 mpg combined. Probably around 18 on the highway. Really curious to see the hard numbers when you fill up. I have 33's, 4" exhaust, intake on my truck and if you're getting better mpg then me I need to change my driving style.
Also try Riff Raffs fuel cross over, really helps the engine clatter and fuel delivery. It helped the drivability of the truck.
RocHopn yeah that’s better than me. I only get 10 city 15 hwy. I think it’s cuz of the LA traffic and 37s don’t help. Lol
Yeah I looked into that riffraff part. It’s on the list for sure🤘🏻
my 2000 excursion 7.3 gets a max of 15 city if I baby it and 13 if I drive it normally, I get so far a max of 18mpg hwy going no more than 72mph with 5 people in the car. That being said I've done a lot more mods to it that helps with mpg and power. I also have a 400lb bumper/winch combo on the front. The biggest mpg improvement I've gotten is from the garret ball bearing turbo and Airdog fuel system
You have the Garrett turbo part number? I'm looking at replacing/upgrading one.
@@MarcoRodriguez-lr2xt the model is GTP38R and the SKU is 739619-5004S
I'm.looking to buy this exact vehicle to turn into a overland camper.
It's got 240 miles and the guy wants 8 grand for it , you think that's worth it
@@bumpydevoshire1067 I hope you bought it 😂
A engine displacement is bore x stroke. A giant vacuum. 5.9 cummins moves less air and fuel when idling or cruising.
Thanks for sharing. A mpg gauge definitely helps keep ur foot out of throttle! Ive got a scan gauge ll. Trucks got the zf6. And loves to cruise @ 75 to 80mph. Have similar mods u have. Use Schaefers synthetic and change the fuel filter every 7k with the oil. I avg. 15 to 16, mixed driving. And 12 to 14 towing.
What rpm are you at doing 75-80mph?
@@MrBellyman128 2200 @ 75 and 2350 @ 80mph. Truck has 3.73s and im running 285/75s.
@Josh Hance so you get around 16mpg at 80mph?
@@MrBellyman128 Yes sir. Trucks got an Ats turbo with a billet wheel. 6637 filter. Fuel cross-over tube. Riff raff fuel banjo bolts, their Hpx oil cross-over. Dp tuner with 5 custom tunes. My highway mileage is on level 5. Which is the "hot" tune. At level 3, which is the tow tune..it drops 1 to 1.5mpg. Checked it mutiple times on the same stretchs of hwy and similar weather/wind.
@@MrBellyman128 Also run my tires at 70 to 75psi
Edge CS2 monitor - amzn.to/2xHTHso
Make sure you watch most of the test to see all the examples.
9:30 is where you see something interesting which is the point of this video!🤙🏻
Great video. Thank you for your time.
I've almost get 19 with mine looking to improve I was getting horrible doing the math based off my trip until I started realizing the trip was way off so I starting keeping track of the miles I drive and found out my trip was about 10% off probably because I run on oversized tires once I did that the lowest I get is mid 14s towing I have seen 13 but I usually average mixed driving 16-17
Have you tried putting 10 w30 motor oil helps out a lot.
Loving your videos! What size of lift is on the truck in this video? You’re running 37’s in this video?
Yes 37s. It was a 6” lift I believe. Came on the truck when I bought it. Now I’m running a 14” lift and 40s though. Lol
As I hit about 15lbs of boost in my f250 I get 19mpg, about 78mph. All I have is KnN and straight pipe wit a superchips tuner at performance setting
Hey I'm in Cali and would like to do a straight pipe but my truck has a muffler and yours doesn't. If I want a larger exhaust pipe do I need a muffler or no?
Y a the straight pipe kit I bought was the whole kit from the turbo. Down pipe and everything. So you can either buy a turbo back straight pipe kit or buy a kit with a muffler. Whatever you want
@@NoHalfAss thanks for replying. I guess what I'm wondering is if the state of CA will require me to have one since my truck currently has one. Did yours ever have one?
Y a yeah I had a muffler before. My smog guy says he’s not responsible for checking for a muffler and since they’re catalytic converter exempt he can pass it. But a different smog guy could be different. According to California state law you are required to have a muffler on any vehicle so you could technically get a fix-it ticket for that if a cop wanted to give you one. But I’ve never been bothered about it
Im in cali, I got the MBRP catback. The muffler in that kit is essentially an open design. You can look straight thru it with no obstructions.
I'd like to know more about the air filter. And changing out mine for a better one. I have 2000 f250 7.3 powerstroke diesel.
Hit me up on Instagram! @nohalfass
I see you have a 7.3 diesel. Question, I have a stock 2002 7.3 with 300k miles. Looking to do some easy fuel and performance upgrades. I go slow, sometimes carry or pull heavy loads, concrete, etc. Can you give me a short list of what you recommend?
Capo Construction yeah man! Mines a 2001 7.3. A tuner, cold air intake, and exhaust are always your best places to start. I have a 5 inch strait pipe but if you wait something much more mild-moderate you can get a 4” mbrp exhaust with or without a muffler. A cold air intake will help also and I recommend a dry washable one. Don’t get an oiled filter. As far as a tuner, I switched from a superchips 1704 to the hydra. I like the hydra way more for how I use the truck which is just driving around and never towing. But if you tow a lot I like the superchips towing tunes better. It seemed to tune the transmission better and made it shift more firm but I also didn’t mess with the tow tunes too much on the hydra. Overall, the hydra is the #1 recommended chip/tuner for the 7.3 for sure.
Do you have loose steering feeling in your truck?
I drive my 7.3 like all my cars and get 14.5mpg I have air intake 4" exhaust and tuner. 70mph hiway. CA traffic.
Unfortunately it’s hard to find the CTS2 now. And the new CTS3 doesn’t have mpg monitoring as the CTS2 did. Why they took that function out is beyond me.
Did you have to adjust the mpg gauge? Does the tuner allow you to? I wonder if they are as accurate as overhead console that some of our trucks offer.... I have the bullydog tuner... it lets me adjust the mpg... I'm still in the process of making it perfect, it also shows me how many gallons of fuel I've used.. only thing I dont like is it telling me how many miles I have driven.. so that way it would be easier to calibrate... you would be able to see how many gallons it went through while matching the miles you drove.. I think that's the best way to get accurate mpg numbers
Joey Gonzales I was able to enter my tire size on the monitor and it adjusted the gauges for me and it matched with those radars that tell you how fast you’re going when you pass by. I also matched the trip odometer on the edge monitor with my phones gps on a trip
@@NoHalfAss nice, well there's the differnce, you have a trip odometer on your tuner... lucky you cody.. 😠 .....lol.... I be hatin....hahahahahahaha
Joey Gonzales Hahahaha yeah. The only problem is it starts over every time I start the truck again. So I can’t use it for a full tank to calculate my MPGs. Just used it to make sure that all the other gauges and stuff were accurate, so don’t be too jealous. Lol
99.5 F350 cc 4x4 DRW ZF6 4.10 gears. No load 14.5 mpg on Tony wildman economy tune on PHP Hydra. @63 mph. Intake,non-cat exhaust. Stock size tires and wheels,4.10s just keep the RPMs too high for fuel economy.My thinking? FYI truck on scales full tank 7200 lbs.
I’ve got the older edge model on my 99 and at 55 mph with 1000 lbs in the box I get 25 mpg @55 I only go down to 15 mpg at about 75 at 65 I get 18 and these numbers are at level 2 on the edge.
Bradford Ramm interesting! So yours is a tuner also??
80HD Projects lol I wouldn’t call it that. It’s stock everywhere else and it’s an early 99. So it has smaller injectors and turbo. I will upgrade as items are replaced but I’m more interested in replacing my head gaskets and upgrading to studs simply due to age.
Bradford Ramm nice man🤘🏻
Get hotshots stiction eliminator and the EDT then recalculate mpg
Josh Russell I’ll look into them for sure! Thanks🤘🏻🔥💯
I have had friends with 7.3 and 6.0 rave about how good it works
striction is just another SNAKE OIL .....
Hey I just got a question real quick. I own a 7.3 and i recently put an ATS ported housing and new balanced compressor and turbine wheel and i put the 6637 air filter on it... do u think these mods since they all will help get more air flow will this increase MPG and also do u think they will decrease the black smoke? Thanks
sir 7.3 I haven’t done any of those mods myself but any performance mod you do should help mpg if your driving habits stay the same. But most people put performance mods and then start driving harder cuz it’s fun do their mpg goes down or maybe stays the same. As far as black smoke goes I’m not 100% sure what difference it will make. From my understanding black smoke is partially burned/ wasted fuel
@@NoHalfAss thanks for the input and i love ur videos keep em coming✌
What year is that truck sir? Thanks. 7.3 diesel?.?
What you running for gears. At 70 mine runs about 2100rpm
I had the stock 3.73s in this video, but now I have 4.56s since I’m on 40 inch tires now
Mine DRW runs at 2350 rpm at 70. I think its 4.11
On 285s
Did you have to extend your sway bar end links when you lifted truck
I don’t think they did bro but honestly I couldn’t tell you for sure since the shop did my lift
@@NoHalfAss I would think they did for how much lift you have
Your truck looks newer and more expensive!
I get 14.5 city and 18-19 hwy
2wd 7.3 Excursion, bone stock with Nitto Terra Grapplers.
Nice bro! Not bad!
Nice I gotta look into this. How much for the monitor and how much time did it take to install?
Yo San it was $300 on amazon, free shipping and took about 30 mins to install. Super easy. Just plugs into the OBDII port. Here’s the link to the monitor amzn.to/2xHTHso
Also in the description of this video is the link to the video I did installing it💯
80HD Projects all your missing is the EGT probe,and wire. I hate that they just didn’t include it.
I bought my 73 for fuel economy, WHEN TOWING.Versus a gasser, much better fuel economy. thats with an 8" lift and 37" tires.
David Sanderson makes sense bro!!🤘🏻
I have 01 7.3 f250 xlt 4x4 mine has had 355 pos gears front end an rear end speed sensor has been changed too an I use Kleen injector lubrication plus cetane booster an it helps it run better an ups my mileage but Bill Hewitt at Power Stroke Help . Com believes in Arch oil check it out there is a 6.o Powerstroke with 400 some thousand miles on it with nothing done to the motor or transmission either one .......Thanks for the tips tho ....
David Merrill nice bro!! Thanks for watching and thanks for the info man!🤘🏻🔥💯
Do you measure your boost from the OBD port or do you have a separate boost sensor?
At this point when this video was made it was the OBDII. But now I have an actual mechanical boost gauge
What gear ratio is in your truck?
Stock 3.73s right now
Do you mileage correct for your tire size when your calculating your MPG?
Yes 🤘🏻
Thanks for the video...I have a early 99 six speed.
ARIZONA DIRT niiice bro that’s awesome!🤘🏻🔥
Arizona dirt what kind of mpg do u get? I just got a e99 f250 manual 4wd 3.73 leveled on 33s
My 7.3 on 12in lift and 38s with 410 and another of mods got 22 cruising at 1900 rpm. Averages 18
Cody Parker damn nice bro! I’m jealous! Lmao
Every performance upgrade u can put on these trucks will increase mpg and the upgrade that got me the biggest mpg increase was switching from my edge programmer to php hydra chip even when running on 140hp extreme my highway averages 22mpg when not pulling but thats with both cross over mods fuel and oil and banjo bolts prs mod and bunch more just note more air in more air out and more fuel r key
COAL-ROLLIN & POWERSTROKIN Kramer nice! good info! That’s really good mpg!! I plan to switch to the hydra eventually also and do the banjo bolts when I get the chance🤘🏻🔥💯
Powerstroke Project doing the banjo bolts will give u 2or 3 mpg and keeps injectors from starving alows more fuel to the injectores witch in turn gives u the ability to use that extra fuel if u want giving u the horses of slightly upgraded injectores without actually upraded like 20 lbs almost plus keeps them cooler and when light on the peddle better atomized squirt in turn less fuel needed
COAL-ROLLIN & POWERSTROKIN Kramer that’s pretty cool! How was the install? I wonder if I could do that upgrade myself. The only video I ever saw on it made it look really difficult and hard to get to them.
Powerstroke Project passenger side is easy take out the passenger side splash guard andit up by the down pipe on backside of head. Driver side little more work its not hard just a little more to it just take ur belt of and take the alternator bracket off but just the top bolts take out and loosen the lowers makes it easier to remount without taking alternator and stuff off of bracket when remounting cuz it a little heavy so leave atleast 1 bottom bolt in loosly and u can pivot it out of the way enough to access the driverside banjo bolt. Make sure u clean area very well before removal. Take’em out and 2 options bore the existing bolts or buy the aftermarket bolts from riff raff witch i highly recomend but i bored my originals but make damn sure there isnt a single spec or shaving left behind before reinstalling or u b spending $1600 minimum on new injectors so buying them is well worth it good luck and enjoy the good hp gain
Takes 45 minutes if ur engine bay is clean
Thanks for the info it was helpful
I would rather have an instant mpg without a tuner... that's what it is basically.... new trucks come with it standard I do believe and not just an avg/mpg reader like my 7.3 currently has.
Ray Dornbush yeah that’s what this is. Instant mpg + gauges 👍🏻
Not to mention it has 0-60 and 1/4 mile trackers which is pretty cool
My 7.3 gets gallons per mile my mb e320 cdi gets 45 mpg at 69mph.
Very nice truck
Larry Butterfield thank you bro!!
How do you know that's reliable?
Great video man!!! Enjoyed every minute!!!
Seth Steria thanks bud! Glad you enjoyed it!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
A lot of time your fuel economy you're miles per gallon depends on your driving habits I have a buddy had Zacks same truck I do 8 2001 F to 50 with a 7.3 in it he gets about what you get in fuel mileage I myself in town get 13 and a 1/2 to 14 in a quarter per mile in the city and 21 and a 1/2 to 22 miles per gallon on the freeway but I don't slam the throttle when I take off I don't do a lotta lane shifting and quick lane shifting hard braking acceleration idea of a few mods on my truck but they're mostly for long gibbet I like the insane one micron oil filter from insane diesel a trans cooler and a few other things gages but a lot of the time miles for gallon as I said before has to do with somebody's driving habits and even a stock I got high mileage out of my truck I drove it at 58 miles an hour taken a trip up to Oregon at a Sacramento and I got 22.8 miles per gallon
Don Williams I agree 100%. I just can’t drive like that all the time. Lol
I try but I like to have fun with my truck and I’ll be fine sacrificing a little mpgs. Just my opinion. 22 mpg is really good though I’ve never even been close to that! Hahaha
@@NoHalfAss I get it I slam up for auto down once in a while just to See some rolling coal myself
The best mpg I did was to swap a 3.55 In place of my 4.10 from my 95 f250.
For me I got a deal on my 7.3 & I don’t work it hard but I do use the bed, I’m into the scraping & mud mower hobby.
W the 4.10 I got a max of 16mpg, but I’m not towing. It’s my daily so I want to get the insane fuel mpg, to boast with my friends about my stock tune truck.
I get better mpg than a new 6.7 thats supposed to get around, 20-29mpg.
Nice bro!! That makes sense if your not towing and just want the best mpg. That’s great man!👍🏻
Curiosity, what’s the “scraping and mud mower hobby”?
F250 lifted 93 idi non turbo 20mpg / 21mpg highway. Mic drop.
Yeah but you have to plan everything a week in advance. Lol
@@fluffykittynoodles not much different than driving big car.
I'm afraid to do anything to my truck living here in Commiefornia. I've heard rumors of late too about DOT spot checks looking for illegal mods. The only proper way to check for MPG is by taking an average after filling up, BOOM....
IDAK Mr. true, I live in California too so I know. Lol
But the edge monitor is ONLY a monitor and does not violate any DOT or smog laws. It’s not a tuner or any other illegal mod like that. Also the instant mpg tracker I show in this vid is only to watch your MPGs while you drive so you can try to keep them high as possible, but I still check using the odometer when I fill up whenever I’m curious about my average mpg on a tank.
Commiefornia 😂
To see if that ct2 is right and you are getting that mpg you need to track ur miles like you would normally and compare it to the ct2
Phil D yeah the mileage and MPH are correct. It re calculated to match the 37 inch tires and I checked it and it’s correct. But even if the speed and mileage is correct I still don’t think the MPGs/fuel consumption would be completely accurate because it’s just tracking the fuel consumption using the OBDII port and I don’t think it’s going to get that 100% correct. I could be wrong though. Good point though man!
Powerstroke Project it will be interesting to see when you fill up next what that math is if you haven’t done it yet
Phil D yeah I got 12 city instead of 11 like I did before getting the monitor. so just watching the monitor and my driving habits I gained 1 mpg. 12 is the best fuel economy I’ve ever got city driving.
Just got you off of the 666 thumbs up. 👍
Hahahaha thanks bro!!! 🤘🏻🤣
Skip to 3:56
Really love your'e videos. My mileage is about 15mpg on average but I'm not running a big tire, what I'm puzzled at is the RPM difference you have, when I'm running 70-75mph my RPM's are between 2100-2300RPM's. I know I don't have a big tire mine are 265/75/R16. I think to get accurate numbers you need to correct the speedo to match the tire, and boy those tires make a lot of road noise.
Myles Hansel yeah the speedo on the truck is off. The edge monitor is corrected though. Maybe you have a lower gear ratio??
Yes these trucks offered different gear ratios... I believe the lower the gear ratio the better the mpg... I believe at the top of the torque curve you can obtain the best mpg which is at about 1900 rpm... I also believe that our transmissions hold back alot of mpg... imagine an allison transmission instead of the 4r100
You want to get instant better fuel mileage with 0 mods and it's even better than that gauge even though it's nice to have. Manual transmission. With my Hypertech tuner set on the 2nd stage hi average high 17's in the city damn if I was just to put cruise control on at 60 miles an hour I would get over 20 miles to the gallon on the freeway. Automatics kill the performance and fuel economy. Had enough automatics in my life but I probably will never own another one. it's the one rebuild I've done on so many vehicles. Just sayin.
Ehren Krause damn really that’s crazy?!!! I know automatic transmission are much more expensive to maintain also!! Thanks for that info man!!
Manual for the win. I control what gear. Better for engine braking when towing too.
Why when you were going down the road, that thing said that you were going 70mph but your speedometer was reading 50mph... Why is it off that much?? And you should check the MPG Fill it up and use it and keep it at around 24mpg for 50 miles or so, then fill it back up and see if it was exaggerating the MPG like it was exaggerating the mph... And I have a 97 F350 and I'm looking for either something to boost my MPG, or find another truck that can get me a lot better MPG'S than what I have... I have to tow 8000lbs across the country twice a year and I want something that can get the best MPG'S... But it doesn't make sense to have to spend 10k in upgrading to get 3 MPG more, or spend 80k or more for a new one that only gets 4 or 5mpg more than what I have... I'm looking for a few cheap upgrades to gain as many MPG as I can... I get about 10 Towing and 14 not Towing, with a Crew Cab 4X4 with 8ft bed. Let me know if you come across anything that actually improves the MPG'S for sure... What did it cost for your exhaust system? And I saw a video on how to boost the stock turbo last year, but can't seem to find it now... Do you know anyone who can post another one so I can get someone to help me boost the stock turbo up a few pounds?? Let me know what you find out... Thanks
As I know comments help to. I just have to say. 1 yes it's a tuner, no one just buys a monitor.. 2 don't buy it solely for this reason. Cause oh wait just figure out what speed ranges you get better fuel economy and go those speeds. Go off of trial and error do this trip at 55 this one 60 or 65.. 3 he's just talking it up cause the commission he gets on it. I'm glad he says that. But if your not getting sponsored by them. Don't push something like that, that hard. And if they want you to be dishonest move on another sponsor will come around, not all of them are that way. Yes none want there product to be shit on but feedback of the truth helps. Just a thought.
Sorry but you’re wrong about multiple things. One) These are strictly gauge monitors, not a tuner at all.
Two) I’m not just talking it up for the commission. I have several products I’ve purchased and I’m honest when I don’t like them, but the edge monitor has been a great purchase and I really do recommend it for monitoring your truck. There’s more to it than just tracking MPGs like I mentioned in the video. For one, if you have lifted tires, your speedometer will be off and need to be recalibrated, but this monitor does that for you so now I have an accurate way to monitor my speed. And they do a lot more so please be better about your negative assumptions
Do a 6.0 headlight conversion
Spencer Gibbons-Neff just did! Video coming soon!😉🤘🏻
what afe filter is that I don't think my k&n is flowing enough air
MrPowderEater I had a K&N before and the AFE filter is way better. Here’s the link👉🏻 amzn.to/2YMbVEi
K&N Sucks Dirt that is,Had one and 1st time I serviced it couldn't believe the the dirt in the intake tube.....
I have cruised all day on cruise control and you do get better mileage the faster you go but the big difference is fuel from Arizona fuel from California is horrible but no way are you getting 31 miles per gallon maybe for an instant while you’re coasting I wish you were
An also add 2 or 4 cycle oil to your fuel the diesel today is to dry for the 7.3l
Yeah I usually add 2 stroke oil or Diesel Kleen
How much 2 cycle should you add to tank of diesel fuel?
@@1bigrig Walmart sells a little 1/2 quart bottle and personally I add one of those whenever I fill (if I’m adding 2 stroke oil instead of a diesel fuel additive)
I have several of these trucks. My best fuel economy is with my 97 ext cab 2wd. I get average 20 mpg around town. I don't really drive it on a highway unless I am towing my 35 foot toy hauler and it averages 14 towing it. No mods at all. My other 2 get about what that truck does towing daily driving lol.
I saw on a website your best fuel economy will be at your peak torque output.
Buckinchuteranch 1 really? That’s interesting info! Makes sense though
Kinda makes sense considering that’s when the engine is doing the least amount of work to move
I'm averaging 13mpg mostly 60mph highways 😔
The reason the speed limit used to be 55 was A. Safety B. Fuel mileage C. To enjoy the ride.
We're in to much of a hurry now.
My 95' powerstroke gets 19 between city and Hwy.
I filled up once and just drive it the speed limit plus 10% then filled up again at the same pump and got 21.
I'm okay with that
95'
33" tires, straight piped 4" firewall out 3"firewall up. 6 position tuner. I had it in 100hp gain while driving for the 21 mpg..
Wait i get 12.1 stock nice.
I have a 2002 f250 7.3 l I'm getting around 11 in town and 27 to 33 on the highway at 60 miles an hour windows up AC off why such a difference and fuel coming between the city and the highway
Idk bro but that’s awesome! Lol
I wish I got that kinda of mileage hwy. I’m surprised you’re MPGs aren’t better in the city. Is it 4wd or 2wd? Do you have a lift and big tires, or stock?
PCH 101 in the 805!
Love that highway. Malibu to the Bay. Awesome drive.
Jeremy Keith I was out in Thousand Oaks for work and I’m not familiar with the area so I’m not even sure if that’s the road I was on 😂
Love the vids dude! Thank you
Gunny Wilkin thank you bud!🙌🏻 I really appreciate that!
I can’t wait till you get the hydra. You’re gonna shit your pants. That monitor I believe is one step below the cts2. Someday you might get that. I have the same afe big boost filter as well. I had avg and inst mpg PID selected. Iv found that around 63mph/1800rpm with a good tune It shows around 27mph avg shown on the monitor hand calculated at 17-18mpg. That’s highway though. The higher you get that avg to show the better fuel mileage you know you’re getting.
Kody K nice that’s pretty good mpg!! And yeah I definitely plan on getting the hydra eventually. Not sure exactly when but it’s definitely in the plan🤘🏻🔥
Is that all cali compliant haha jk man still enjoying the content as always.the altnator looks good in there. Wish i still had my 7.3, was rear ended beginning of the month and insurance totaled it out.
Sonofamonkeyhole lol maybe it is, maybe it isn’t!😂😂😂
living in California isn’t even California compliant 😒🤣
Daaaamn bro that really sucks! Sorry to hear that. You plan on getting another one???
@@NoHalfAss already got a new truck found a real good deal on a 05 6.0 with a lot goodies. Had it a week now. And loving it
Sonofamonkeyhole nice bro that’s awesome!!!
Tanks bud and i am looking forward to living my 7.3 dreams for time being thru you til i get another in a few years haha
2001 f350, crew cab, long bed, 4 inch lift, 35's....too small, I know, 23 mpg average
A 4” lift and 35s is nice too bro👍🏻
@ 6:41 got 8 lbs of boost,i dont know how hard you were on her,that is low if you are in it much at all,just my .02!
skyler houston yeah I was barely on it. I get up to 24-25 psi when I’m all the way on it. Lol. Thanks for looking out though🤘🏻🔥💯
Best way to improve fuel mileage is apparently to change your perspective of fuel mileage... Speedo says 55, Monitor says 65.... if i have to explain any further, ill lose faith in humanity.
Makes no sense so I guess your faith in humanity is pointless. Haha. The reason for the discrepancy is because of the big tires, surprised you didn’t know that though.
I got a 2000 F-250 7.3 and I check my Fuel mileage the ole fashion way... Gallons on fuelup divided by miles ran; My 7.3 is 18.5 all the times :) Also modded with A/C single shot injectors, Internation School Bus injectors at that! Just this change bumped my mileage from 12mpg to 16mpgs! A few more mods and now can run an 1100 mile trip to Idaho and back, 18.5!
ua-cam.com/video/Wii2_JzhOCc/v-deo.html
And my truck is Perty :)
That’s awesome bro! I check my overall MPG the same way. In the video I was more referring to “monitoring” live mpg while driving, but for accurate calculations I definitely recommend tracking the miles and doing the math when filling up 👍🏻 18mpg is really good! I get about 10 but I’m on 40s now. Hahaha
Also, you want to get good fuel economy, find a true diesel man, The guy who tells you he can't help you on your gas vehicle cause all he knows is diesels.. that guy, find him, get his help. A Buddy's Dad was that guy...... He got better fuel economy with his diesel truck than his son did with his hyundai sonata..
Hi Cody, new Subscríber here. Enjoying the vídeos, i have a 99 Ford F350. Looking forward to doing some mods. Thanks for your help.
Francis Hartman cool man glad you enjoy the videos!🤘🏻🔥💯
That edge product doesn't get you better fuel economy, it's staying off the throttle that=better economy. Those that need to spend hundreds of $$ just to feel like they're "obtaining better fuel economy" are morons. Don't take me wrong, it's one thing to use the Edge product to "monitor" mechanical aspects of your vehicle and something totally different to push it as a "fuel saving tool"...
What your doing is (was) called highmileing was video's on it. Just drive like a fat man on a pedale bike faster downhill run for uphill, it works well
Put 10w-30 motor oil in instead of 15w-40
Where's your egt gauge hooked up? no way it's accurate, way to low.
That’s EOT (engine oil temperature) on the edge monitor, not EGTs. I have a separate mechanical EGT gauge which reads from the header manifold with a probe
If the answer is take the hydra out of Cummins killer then no
Also rebuild your 500k motor and put stock injectors in
@@cartershanks7549 only have 150k miles
U may not care about mpg, but i sure the hell do
Just throw in 3.55 gears
My tuner can tune theses things to like 30-35
What type of tuner
Damn that’s badass!
✌️✌️
🤘🏻💯
