My '89 manual, just like yours but extra cab, has got as high as 13 MPG, but I do a lot of long distance no stops no starts on open highways. the upside (if you can call it that) is when pulling my trailer and an ATV in the bed it still gets 9-10 MPG. I love seeing your truck in motion and enjoy watching your videos- keep up the good work
Keep up the good work man! these videos are interesting, very informative real world test👍 fyi. I live in la too! Traffic kills my gas mileage, I go to work an hour early just to beet traffic!LOL
97 F250 460, e4od, 4x4, full bed and extended cab, not 4 door. Worst I’ve done is 5 around town, no load and best I’ve done is 12.5@80mph downhill from Butte, MT to Thompson Falls, MT also no load. I average 7-8mpg towing 5,000 - 7,000lbs at 60-70 mph
Good video. I wish my 89 got 10 plus mpg lol. I did the air intake mod and it gave me another mile and a half mog tho so I'm stoked on that! Lol. Do you have the link for the injectors?
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 there for mud and snow... yah all terrains are much quieter ride... I got a 460.. and I took and went dual exhaust with thrush glasspacks.. in a thrush welded and I got a unique sound..
Punch out the cat and weld it back on and disconnect the smog pump and put a smaller belt. Then reconnect wen you need to smog. Put your timming at 22'
You’ve really got me thinking now, I will be running the test again on the Front tank and see if there is any difference! Ill give you a shoutout in my next test 😂
I have a 95' E350 that was converted to 4x4 and lifted 4". Has an E4OD, 4.10 gears, and factory size tires 30.5". Best fuel mileage I've gotten is 12.5 all highway with about 2k pounds in the back cruising 55. Would really like to improve the numbers, and stumbled on 460efiguys.com. They have a low profile throttle body kit that replaces the giant factory setup and also ties into the control module giving some adaptability. They claim 30-40% fuel mileage improvement, of course depends on your driving habits. Definitely going to give them a try..
Yes, I would love to be able to buy and run their stuff… unfortunately I live in California for now, and I can’t run a set up like that because of the smog dictatorship here
