Default Fuel mileage for F350 6.0

I recently purchased a new '05 Ford F350 6.0 SRW. I have approx. 4k miles on it and I have added the Edge Juice with attitude. My fuel mileage is still only about 13 miles to a gallon average. Truck has stock wheels with 373 gear ratio.
Any help on how I can improve mileage would be appreciated!

Keep the Edge on level 1 or 2 with the fuel set on 3. No jack rabit starts, no punching it on an on ramp, basically drive it like your grandma would do, not like you stole it and you will see high 15's-16's city and highway combined. The problem is when you have all that power you are always testing the performance of that module, and it takes alot of will power not to push that peddle down that extra 1/4. Also once the truck breaks in around 10k milage will get better. Jeff

We call it smoke, there is a settng once you go through the program, power levels, then low boost fueling, set this at 3, if you want the most power the higher the level means more power. The problem s the tranny on the Ford has a learning curve, if you put it on 5 power and fueling, that will give you an approx 115hp and 250torque. Here is something I got off the dieselstop.com and thedieselgarage.com Print this info , great reading... Hope this helps Jeff
