Looking for real world fuel mileage on the following trucks with a diesel. Let’s keep this thread on track and not bash the brands. I am not loyal to any brand just looking at what people get.

o5 ford f350 srw crewcab 6.0 13 to 14 city 15 to 16 hyw, only have 4000 miles on it , iam told mileage will improve after 10000 ?????

Re: Fuel Mileage
 

This is true. As the engine "runs in" your mileage will go up. I bought a Titan last March and the computer was showing 14 highway at first, now it's 18 at 70mph. Towing 5000lbs fresh about 10, now 15 at 60-65 or so.

Used my sisters '02 GMC dually Durmax/Allison, IN to OK towing 32' Fountain, 11mpg. It had under 5000 miles on it at the time.

a chipped chevy 3500 crewcab dually 4x4 gets about 23-24 highway not towing...

a chipped ford 250 crewcab srw gets about 21-22 highway not towing...

running a stock diesel you would get about 5-6 less than that...

Most Cummins get 18-19 fwy, 15-16 towing on slicksides. We towed Bill's 42 Sonic all over pacing OSS races this year with his 2003 Cummins 3/4 and avgd 15-16mpg. My old 12-valve gets 20-22mpg fwy and 19-20 city. Towing my T-Bred I get around 18 mpg (around 7k lbs) .

what kind of chip are you doing this with mine is stock except for 4 inch exhaust and no cat it's a 04 chevy duramax

Re: Fuel Mileage
 

01 Excursion Powerstroke with 40" tires, 12 mpg before the chip, 18 mpg with the Bullydog chip. I can't believe what a difference it made, I should have done it years ago.
