2002 7.3 ford diesel
 
Anyone installed a superchip tuner in the truck and gained any mileage?

I put a DP Tuner with 5 programs, MBRP exhaust and my mileage improved. 19.2 mpg all highway, and 15.1 in town. I have an 01 F250 CC 4X4 with a 4" lift. Love the tuner so much more fun to drive than stock.

I second the DP Tuner. We tried the Edge and there was no comparision.

The 80 HP economy mode is SWEET but it is very hard to keep your foot out of it.

Call Jody at DP and let him do a custom tune for you and you will be very glad you did.

I have the following:

#1 = Stock
#2 = High Idle
#3 = 40 HP Tow
#4 = 80 HP Economy
#5 = 40 HP Tow with Torque Converter Lockup braking
#6 = 80 HP Economy w/ Torque Converter Lockup braking

The 40 HP tow will run circles around the 60 HP Edge. I've run it three years now and 30K miles now in an 02 Ford 7.3 PSD with nothing but a smile. It's all switch on the fly.

Good luck

I've got a 2000 Excursion with the 7.3, and also a Superchip, and its pretty sweet! I've got mine up 80 horse. If you go over that you have beef up the rear end. But, yeah, it definitely helps with mileage.

I've got a 2000 PSD 4x4 CC Dually with the Bully Dog 6 position chip. I don't think I really saw any significant mileage gains with my chip.

You've got to free up the intake and the exhaust to really get full use out of the right tuner. If I do it over again, I'm going with a DP setup. The fact that you can order it ala carte with the settings you want is awesome. They get great reviews on all of the diesel sites.

My '01 7.3 has an ati filter , good exhaust and a superchip. Drastic improvement over stock.

B One is yours brand new with all the paper work? Why are yu getting rid of it, did you not like it?

bigboat28 05-11-2008 07:46 AM

Which is better and why the Super Chips with it 3 settings or the DP Tuner, and why. Does the super chip make more power with its top setting of 110hp and 200lbs of torque than the top setting on the DP Tuner? I think the super chips settings are 40, 80, and 110hp. How much is a DP tuner?
