I have been running grease for 4 or 5 years. I am not a expert about grease but, I can keep mine running. I was wondering should I install a tuning chip to improve fuel mileage. Mine gets about 14 to the gallon...If I should install one which one? I have read a few forums but, because of the grease issue wanted to post here first...

 I installed one of these in my 2001 f-250. the only reason i did is it was giving to me for free. all i can tell you about it is.... wow the power boost is unreal. the truck will spin its tires in all gears. I dont know if it improved gas milage or not. but the power is unreal. now for the down side. .. if you get on it to hard for awhile your CEL (check engine light) comes on and stays on untill you shut the truck off. I emailed them and they said that is normal and everything is ok.

Choose wisely if you decide to put a tuner on an F250.  Go to frybrid.com forum and biofuelstechnologies.com forum and ford-trucks.com's 7.3 forum and search.  Look for posts by SkySkiJason.
Lots of blown up engines using tuners, especially the one mentioned above.

Look at what that motor has been put thru.running it down the drag strip and pushing HP to the limits.don't over look the posts of the pics of it doing 1/4 mile runs.
