Adjusting for better fuel economy.

I know that you can adjust the computer for more horsepower, but can you take
some power out of it to get better fuel economy? I'm 40, and dont care about
all the power but want to save some on my 14 miles to the gallon highway. If
you can how or who can do it. (please dont sugest the dealer)

Imo All these mileage improvement things are just to get ya to spend your
money. All ya can do is tune it, change the fluids and filters regularly,
keep the air up in the tires and drive like there is a egg under your right
foot. Remember it is a truck.

Put a diesel motor in it-- Not pratical But their is no way to get good
gas milage with a 360 4X4 truck

I used the Edge Comp ( 5 stage programmer ) in my CTD with a 4 inch
exhaust and I get 18 mpg in town and 22 mpg on the highway. By adding
the extra horsepower I increased my fuel mileage. They may have a
similar application for a gas motor.
