I've spent most of the last 2 days on the performance setting with a new 4" turbo back exhaust so you can imagine how many times the pedals been mashed.

I pulled into the gas station at a smooth 3.52 a gallon for diesel :notallthere:

and only put in 11 gallons! I did the math and I averaged 15.4, I realize that isn't exactly gonna win a prize for "being green" for the environment, but I can't hardly be dissappointed. This truck was getting 12-13 ish at best with the old 03 engine in it and babying it. I have a crappy strategy (VXAP2N2) and this is not terrible. I'm not sure if would do it all that much good to get a roll back done by PHP..... OR WOULD IT??? please share your stories

The truck is a F350 dually with 4.10 gears.... :hmmm:

I'll share as soon as I start making mods. I can tell you my '03 7.3 could get 16.5 mpg with bald tires but I can't get better than 13 with the new ones. :sigh:

trust me just order a new gryphon then you own it and pay bill 4 the programming it would be the quickest


an 04 original rollback ??? this will depend on your build date and the sticker number on your pcm

ficm = AMZ2AL09.PHF

trans = TQBD1N6.PHF <--- includes the original tow haul that came factory>

pcm = VXBC1NZ.PHF <--- includes pilot injection as came with factory>

all these files can be downloaded at DSFM File Download (http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdirs/wds/PCMReprogram/DSFM_PCMReprogram.asp?swproduct=IDS)

but bill has them on his server and runs your computer with remote desktop and programs the gryphon in different modes to program your trucks different modules

please read Go Back Power Hungry Performance Forum > Ford Super Duty & Excursion > 2003 to 2007 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel
my story and my questions (for people that need more info)

i have 4 inch exhaust from turbo back and pull almost 20mpg and i have 3/73 gears
