[QUOTE]Originally posted by 93PONY: [QB] I picked up an '01 2WD SWB F350 PSD in November with 120K on it for $8K. Fleet truck. Lots of big companies use these trucks & now don't have the work load & man power to use them. So they go up for sale. It came with a cold air kit already installed. In that form it was getting 17mpg avg city/highway mix. The truck was SLOW! I installed a 5" turbo back exhaust, Edge w/juice programmer & modified the wastegate actuator for more boost. Milage dropped ~.5mpg avg. I also added an SCT X-cal with my own custom programming for better shift points & a few other mileage mods. I then swapped out the 3.73's for 3.08's & gained 2/3mpg (city/hwy) and the truck is no longer *slow*. It keeps up with 6.0L PSDs no problem. I've been working on other mods for milage & am now averaging right around 20mpg avg. But at the current price of diesel, the best way to save $$$ on fuel is to not drive! LOL Cost per mile for fuel is twice what my wife gets in her grocery getter 30mpg car that runs on 87. Also take into consideration I have a 2wd shortbed with no power options. It's probably 1000lbs lighter than the average 4wd PSD. [/QB][/QUOTE]
