<HR style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=1>I've recently acquired a 2011 F250 with a 6.2L. I am averaging a 14/16 MPG combined and 9 MPG when towing. I was wondering if anyone was using a programmer and received any mileage gains. Please let me know what brand you are using and the gain increase. I'm hoping to get a little better than the 14/16.

Thanks,

You want better then 14/16, you better go get a F150 Ecoboost. Those are good numbers for a truck that size. 9-10 towing is about what everyone gets no matter what motor they have so that part won't change.

A programmer will not yield you any MPG improvements, it will wake up the motor and help with the shift points though.

 

Kevin,
It looks like you have the same truck as me. I am currently in talks with Mike over at 5star. What tunes did you select? Was it a noticeable difference over stock?

 

I got the 87 tunes, performance, tow, and economy. The performance is awesome but will suck down the gas, just because you cant stay off the pedal. I do use the tow all summer while towing the camper, the shift points are perfect while towing and rarely use the tow/haul mode. During the winter I use the economy tune to try to help with the MPG's. I do switch once in a while if I wanna have some fun. But Mike at 5 Star can do custom tunes for you too, I think.
