diesel trucks

whew!!! Thats big money!!!!

Just the 7.1 stroker kit....is
$12,800!!!!!!

well I will make this ride if I get my truck back in time ! 6.0 with 164000 miles having the egr cooler changed and the oil cooler changed now ! gonna try the bullet proof egr cooler and stock oil cooler ! if you have a 6.0 powerstroke you better change the anti freeze often and flush the system ! other than changing the hpop and injectors and egr cooler and oil cooler i have not had any problem ! lol

I changed my coolant at 50,000. Its about time to do it again. When my egr cooler goes I am going to delete it and pull it out. Iam ready to get the fuel mileage better and all that heat off of the motor. For now I run full synthetic Rotella and change it every 5000 miles. I am hoping that helps.

What kind of fuel mileage are you getting out of your diesels?

18 to 19 with no trailer , and 10 to 11 with the 28 foot trailer loaded ! T-bone if you do the delete they say you will not pass the emissions test for state inspections I looked at doing that also . I also use the rottela and change it every 5000 to 6000 miles . but I did not know about the coolant needing to be changed and that is what starts the problem from what I understand .

Here in nc diesels don't get sniffed. My cat is gone and that is essentially illegal. Nobody ever checks for it and in nc over 8000 pounds is safety only inspection.

Believe me the egr is coming out.

With my 6.0 I'm only getting 12 to 14 no trailer and 8 to 10 loaded. What gear and are u 2 or 4wd?

Matt -- you need to post some of your smokey burnout pics....

Get rid of the EGR, TBONE give ADAM with FCDP a call, they make some of the best deletes on the market.

Im 4wd and dont know what gear . I will find out when it gets out of the shop but I think it like a 3.73 , I want to do a chip but I am waiting till the head gaskets go and i do arp studs , but just the studs are 600 bucks ! as far as mpg I used to get almost 12 loaded but I put new tires on and lost about 1 mpg . the excurrison I use to have had the v-10 with 4.56 gears it got about 8 or 9 with an open trailer but would pull anything but would not pass a gas station !

who is fcdp so I can look it up , Im still not against it !

Mine has the 4.10 4wd.

there is you milage, keep it under 2000 rpm and you will get better mileage but you will get blown away on the interstate !

I like the elite diesel engineering delete kit , because it is reverseable with out changing the intake ! no welding

I don't know what I'm going to do. I want to do a delete kit but just can't figure out what in the heck to do

yall are just getting 12-14mpg i get 10mpg loaded or empty. and i pass everything on the road but a gas station.

makes me fell much better for having a bigblock.

Don't get a delete kit for all them Fords, just go get a cummins or duramax and that will delete your problem.

The Ultra low sulfer deisel really screwed with my mileage. I have a 03 dodge 3500, before the fuel change I would get 22mpg on the highway empty and 17 pulling my 24' enclosed loaded down with 2 sxs's. Now I get around 16-17 empty and 12 pulling the same load. My truck has 3.73 gears and all I have performance wise is an Edge controller.

Sometimes if i'm wanting to go fast...and I'm taking off on the floor....then it might get only 15-16....
But that's still good for a truck pushing 700 HP.....

That is going to change in 2012! It was suppose to take affect this year but they keep moving it up!
Might be something to keep in mind!

Im grandfathered in. They wont sniff it!

I wanna buy used one of those diesels that get 20mpg on the highway. That would be great even with the high diesel prices. My Hemi averages 13mpg at best and only gets 6.5mpg towing my Toyhauler.

20mpg would be the bomb!
