When I bought it my the service manager told me not to chip it until it is off warranty, Ford won't honor it if the motor goes when it has been chipped. There was one sitting in their shop with a $15,000 motor bill. The guy had chipped it and Ford wouldn't cover the bill

2005 F350 crew cab diesel. I reprogramed it at about 15,000 miles and have been happy with it. Empty on the highway illl routinely see 19-19.5 With the camper it all depends on the wind. I can get anywehre from 11-14.5 with the camper on. I track every gallon of fuel I put in the truck, the reprogramer paid itself off (450$) in about 11 months.

I didnt chip my old 2000 250 and alwasy regreted it. So when I bought the new one I was warranty be damed and did it anyway.

Brian it is Portsmouth Island were talking about.

Do you think you picked up the extra mpg just from the reprogramming or do you think the pipe change helped?

I also keep real close track of my mpgs and know I could make the money back on the reprogramming if it all came from that.

I had a 96 F250 w/ a 460 cu and chipped that. BIG difference in pulling and also fuel. Picked up more mpgs when I got rid of the muffler and ran a 3" straight pipe with just a catalytic converter.

Thanks

I didnt change the exhaust until 45k or so....I saw the increase right away. like the next tank with the reprogrammer.
