John, amsoil make a good one, but the AFE is not a bad setup, just make sure to the the stage 2.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

extreme duty is what happens the morning after a good night at the chicken and a healthy breakfast at coco loco's

14.5? id park it and walk at $3.50 a gallon.

fixed it

[agjohn02]

Why is this in my thread? and what the f uck is extreme duty use? get the proguard.

because this is hardly a build thread. therefore i treat it as a tech thread.

"extreme duty", as they call it, is duty where the truck is used as a work truck and leaves the pavement.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

The afe will work for that, just will need to be cleaned and oiled more often.

right, he's just looking for a filter that wont have to be cleaned so often. that was the problem with the stock filter box. it had to be cleaned often and the poor design on the box caused it to break from being opened so much. ford claims their new box is better at keeping crap out. just looking for a cheaper option.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

cheap and air filter should not be used together on a $8-10k engine.

Ok well your definition of "extreme duty" seems like using a truck for what its made for. I call that "normal duty".

This is a tech thread, but in the build up sub-section because I'm "building my truck up" to achieve better milage. eitherway I'm happy with my set-up, I'm going to order the proguard filter when I get some cash, and the factory design keeps the air box fairly clean from my expereinces. I will soon cut some high performance air flow holes on the fender side which will probably let more **** in.

eckert- 14.52 is the best I have ever gotten in any of my v-8 trucks.

Put a wicked wheel in the turbo. It's good stuff. Picks up boost faster and doesn't cavitate at the top end like the stock one does.

[BroncoJo]

Even though I have been busy as hell during my short brake I have managed to install my bag of chips and total out some other dudes car.

I got rear ended in the pouring ass rain by a 87 buick. The impact hardly woke up a buddy in the back seat and yet destoyed the car, he did end up walking away. Now I cant deside if I should just make his insurence pay for a new tailgate, light cover, and paint my bumper or just have them right me a check and deal with a couple of scratches. From ten feet away you can't even tell it has been hit.

With my mpg extremly sucking latly(10-14) and driving alot again I went ahead and installed a chip. I haven't ran through a full tank so dont have any mpg numbers yet. This is my first experience with a dp tuner and so far I like it alot better than superchips and hyperwhat-nots I have had before. I cheaped out and skipped getting the "race" tune but in econo mode It goes a hell of a lot faster than I should go and blows alot more smoke than wanted.

[agjohn02]

This aint going to be no black smoking race truck either.

It goes a hell of a lot faster than I should go and blows alot more smoke than wanted.

i knew it!

[RCcola55]

i wanna see your mpg with the DP compared to my TS, the other day i got almost 19 on the hwy, but my city mileage still sucks

[Seth]

he also has an extra set of wheels.

[BroncoJo]

I seriously dout I could get 19, I have alot of extra weight. I'm really hoping for an increase in the city (was about 13) and towing (was ****ty), now I can actualy get up to speed before the next light and use alot less pedal doing it.

I'm going to work on opening up my intake but I dout it will make any smoke go away. Also with all this new found power the ***** is probably running hotter so I might do a 4in down pipe. It scares me not knowing the temps but I hate those pillar gauges.



cox-

[Sharpe]

I would take the money and live with the scratches. Of course with this mentality trucks end up looking like my crewcab...

I've seen an improvement of mileage with the SCT I put in my ford. Getting about 12 going to work and back now. Will see what it does on the highway this weekend. Should get about 17 where it used to get 14. But I have a 6.0. Never saw any gain with any chip on the 7.3s.

It will also light up the 35s from a rolling start.

I expect the best gains when pulling. My dad's 06 dually has been getting about the same mileage pulling his bulldozer as I've been getting pulling the boat. He also get terrible mileage without the chip.
