I Assume you are referring to the 7.3L Power-stroke. Very good engine, big power from 1995 technology. Mine has almost 300Kmi. About $1500 in engine related repairs along the way.
Can it be 'chipped'? Yes, you can also poke a rod thru the pan if you like. I'm guessing a 4wd F-350 weighs #7000 EMPTY. MAybe 16 mpg? My 2wd F-250 gets 19mpg, ON IT'S BEST DAY. Towing #11,000 camper, we get about 11mpg. You get what you pay for. -- Peter Arnold Windsor, CT ----- Original Message ----- From: "LWB250" <lwb...@yahoo.com> To: "Okie Benz" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 8, 2010 8:44:44 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [MBZ] Ford 7.4l Powerstroke Question Anybody here have any experience with these engines? I ask because one of the business owners drives one in a 3/4 ton 4WD F350. He's complaining about the mileage (or lack thereof) and wonders what options he may have to tweak it to make it more efficient. I suspect it can be "chipped" and if he went to extremes have a Banks turbo kit put on it. I know nothing about late model diesel, so I wasn't sure what options, if any, he has.
