2001 Ford F350 7.3 Powerstroke - MPG and Performance Testing after Tons of Riffraff Mods
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 сер 2020
- Put the big girl together and shes now ready for some MPG and power testing, Now i was hoping to see better MPG and power numbers but seems like im now at a point of making her slower without getting a tuner that will actually get more benefits from all these mods that give her more fuel flow and better exhaust flow etc. Let me know what you guys think?

Super stoked on all your 7.3 vids. I started watching your channel during my changing out my injector cups. Performing that job kinda inspired me to look at a few mods which led me to you. Then I hear your slowing down the channel. Come on now!
Thanks so much for the MPG update. I think the truck probably needs a tuner now to utilize all of the fuel and air modifications that you have done. The clearly organized data sheet is a nice touch to help everyone see the results of each modification.
I called it! This mid-14 MPG seems to be the standard with these rides.
Try disconnecting the batterys for 5 minutes and then reconnect them and take it out and stand on the skiny pedal to relearn the fuel curve in the computer.
Great work nick @FixItNick
Looking good can't wait for the front end upgrade
Great video Nick as always brother @FixItNick
Good to see the prius out and about.
Your gonna love the tune!
CNt wait
Love the "i identify as a Prius" on the tailgate😂
I'm looking forward to seeing how the tuner does. This is about what I get for mpg and my truck is completely stock. I think the banjo's, new exhaust and crossover hoses would only improve mpg under load, say like when you're pulling something, because it would allow it to have more torque to pull that load. I think the way to go is to have a tuner that knows what the truck needs better than the stock ECM. The reason for that is the ECM is generic world wide where the tuner is specifically tuned by you for your area and driving conditions. Best I remember Bill Hewitt did a video series on improving the 7.3L diesels and came up with the same conclusions, that a tuner combined with the right mods will work. I think the max mpg he was able to get was 21-22 mpg. That I believe is about 2-3 mpg over stock, but where he made his real gains was in torque adding about 200-300 more ftlbs. Combined with that and the mpg increase that made this work truck far more efficient for the business man who has to rely on this truck daily. For better mpg I would consider a tuner and an external overdrive. The engine has more than enough power to use one and would GUESS give you an increase in mpg just not sure how much. Try one of these Gear Venders overdrive they handle well over 2,500 hp on drag racers: ua-cam.com/video/mEhgAIVEWX4/v-deo.html Here's a guy who put one on his Dodge Ram ua-cam.com/video/epRFq-KlRPA/v-deo.html It's a thought.

Wow your truck is way quieter then mine. We’ve done all the same engine mods but I get a lot more sound out of my turbo, especially after I boost to 20psi and release the throttle. I do have the SnB air filter. Highly recommend it! I’ll DM you a sound clip of my truck.
Nick, I really enjoy the video's. Got the same truck in a 99. Have you done the Hutch mod in your fuel tank? A chip and that mod and your truck will really wake up I believe.
What time are you going to get? I'm kind of leaning to the PHP Hydra chip.
Yes it makes sense what you say but like Joe says the 4 inch lift adds more air drag just like in Ford VS Ferrari. I believe Big Girl is ready for a Hydra Tuner.👍😉💪
What mpg tracker are you using in this video?
The 7.3s are awesome sounding engine's.
Heck yes
Perhaps the new lift kit slowed the truck down. OOOOr like most 7.3s she just decided to be moody the day you took her out to test haha. Either way, Im looking forward to you getting a hydra
I know exactly what your talking about sometimes I’ll floor my 7.3 and it will actually go faster than normal or slower just depends and how she’s feelin that day😂
@@BradyBunting For mine it depend how hot it is outside.
Is ford f350 and ford f550 7.3 I'd the same rpm.?
I agree a tunner will make these mods perform even better and bring back your mpg as well @FixItNick
Can’t wait lol
Just tune it too the mods and then you will see mpgs and power go up but if you get 15 to 16 avg then that's not bad and I see a tune would help use the extra fuel and air it has now so good job on her and there good old trucks!
A tuner should definitely be on the list. :)
Lol i wonder which one he will get
Hey Nick, how's your clutch holding up?
All good
Another one watching close! Very curious what the tuner will do for you. My 7.3 will eventually get your mod list and a Hydra tuner. I'm a single rear wheel truck getting 15-16.5 mpg.
we have a 01 Crew cab 4x4, what a difference when I installed the Hydra tuner, we run the 65hp setting daily, score around 16mpg and its so much easier to drive, also have 85 and 100hp tunes set as well as 3 towing tunes. You can also install other tuners tunes but I haven't looked into that pretty happy with these. You won't regret installing the Hydra.
@@tomsmith5947 thanks for the info! Where did you get your tunes from? Is 16mpg mixed driving or is that highway only? I might order a tuner sooner than later now.
@@Geoff240ti the tunes come from the company, I think it was an app you put on your computer you load them to, then connect your tuner to your computer and transfer them over, it holds up to 15 total tunes, there's some good videos on UA-cam on install and programming, I didn't have any issues. As far as mileage 16 is all around, have seen 18 on hwy not bad for an old school heavy 7.3. We do a lot of car flipping so tow a lot, the tuner made it a lot better experience, I would recommend a tranny cooler if you haven't installed one yet.
@@tomsmith5947 I was going to do all the mods and tuner last, but might just do trans cooler (as you suggest) EGT probes, guages and tuner to start. The truck needs so much pedal to get going even empty. I'm also flipping cars, and on non Covid years towing the camper to the mountains. Thanks again for your advice!
@@Geoff240ti good luck, if you're on FB join the F250 sites, wealth of info funny as hell sometimes too., as far as cooler check out the Tru Cool, been working great for me and cheaper then a 6.0 cooler.
I subd to you
I think you are either running too Rich on a fuel or too rich on air....either way the stock PCM is not designed to run with those modifications with no retuning. So I say go get a hydra from 1023 and honestly I would call in the order so that they know all the modifications that you did. Kudos братан!
Remember to drain the water separator
Get a HYDRA tuner..nothing against the TS. The HYDRA is way more dynamic with whatever you decide to do with your truck. Worth the extra money. Do your research!!! I love mine
I have the TS should I keep it or get rid of it?
@@mrbmd710 to is a great chip, its just a great beginner chip. If you do any o t her mods, you'll have to take it out and send it off to have different tunes put on
I'm happy with how the TS chip works the Engine. Just wish the transmission was smarter on knowing when to shift.
Back pressure has literally never benefited a turbo powered diesel! But good vid regardless!!
For example, a 4” straight pipe might flow our easier and 5” pipe would flow out not as smoothly but has more room for future mods and power that would need to exhaust faster. 4” is better on a mostly stock engine
@@FixItNick that statement would be true for any diesel that doesn't have a turbo. Like the old Ford IDI's. But anything with a turbo requires as little back pressure as possible. It doesn't matter if your truck is bone stock, the less back pressure on your turbo the better. Reason being, even the slightest bit of back pressure causes backwards spool, also refered to as turbo flutter. This will cause you to not only lose potential power but more importantly it'll prematurely destroy the inner workings of the turbo itself.
Gotta get a hydra
that truck needs the 2005 year Ford headlights
14.5mpg,that bad I have a Ford Focus st and I complain about 45mpg
Get a stage 1 remap
Your temperature looks more on the high side no good
Some punks tried to steal my 2000 F250 4x4 SC last Sunday night.
They failed, but they ruined my Ignition switch and door lock key mechanism.
If you have not considered anti- theft devices, you should ASAP
2019: there were reported 186,369 Ford Vehicle thefts IN TEXAS.
California was second with only 139,000 thefts......
Would the Club work?
@@mrbmd710 so far it has worked. I also use the Antilock device that keeps them from applying the brake or clutch pedal. Depending on systems you choose they also include a cash warranty to help cover insurance deductible if it is stolen.
It works indeed, just I notice if you daily drive the truck little more work setting the Club Everytime we park going into stores etc.
Hydra tuner from dusty!!!
Yup I wanna
Mods will give better performance less mpg always stock was made to give best mpg @FixItNick
Ts tuner top level is called cumins killer.
1st haw lol
I am so fed up with this f350. I'm not even interested in the mustang.
Ohh man move to the mustang
This truck is ugly
Most people have these trucks and use them daily. It helps broader community who are currently working on their 7.3
