Chip for F-450 SD ??????
A couple of months ago someone on here gave me a name to contact about a chip for the 2008 F-450 diesel. I have lost his name. Does anyone have any info on where to buy one to help the fuel mileage on my truck. It is awful. I want one specifically designed for the 450 diesel.

Eric.
The contact number is of course on the site. Click on "Contact". But 410.620.3020 is their number.
Don't expect any MPG miracles. The 6.4 is getting beat up pretty good for mileage. But Eric can get you programs for about anything you want from economy to hard core performance to tranny only.
Gearing of the 450 is probably your primary problem depending on your driving style.

Thanks, I will give him a call, however he is not the one I called months ago. One of the boat racers gave me another name.

Do you have the job 2 front air dam? On trucks built after July, a 5 inch air dam comes under the front bumper. The other ones are about 2 inches. Big difference in size. The newer, bigger air dam will give you 1 mpg. at 70 mph. Cost is about 80 bucks. I can order it for you if you like.

I think Eric is the main tuner-dude but either one will take care of what you want. They both have a great following and obviously work close together on this stuff. |
