Thank you so much Terry!  The pics look great! 

Congratulations!  I'm a HUGE Ford fan so of course you made the best decision going with a Ford product....  I hope y'all have many years of trouble free service from your new truck.  Nice of Terry to insert the pictures, this site is so lucky to have Terry & Jo!!!!!

I'm going to have to update my old 2004 F-250 when we hit the road full-time...if anyone is interested in a low mileage F-250 SRW keep a look out on the classifieds.  It's barely broke in with 26,000 original miles.  We are going to need the F-350 or F-450 DRW to pull the RV we want.

Congrats on your purchase! That's a the sweet 6.7, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I wish I knew about it before I pulled the trigger, but I just bought a 2008 F-250 6.4l. I wasn't ready to buy just yet, but I couldn't resist the price. My new to me truck has 109k miles and a trailer tow package, but other than that is a standard XL which was a "program truck" meaning all the maint was performed on schedule under the terms of the lease, giving me a little peace of mind. I paid $11,9k plus bought a $1k, 24 month extended warranty, just in case. I plan on using it to pull a TT to retire in full-time. Lots of people say their 6.4 returns horrible fuel mileage, but unfettered by a trailer mine is averaging in the low 20's - mostly highway, but it will hit mid 20's all highway, which suprised the heck out of me for a bone stock truck.

Has anyone here done (or are planning to do) the DPF and EGR delete? If so, what tuner did you use and what were the results as far as towing MPG, reliability, power, etc?

I did perform the EGR & EGR Cooler delete on mine but I stay away from tuners, especially with a 6.0 liter engine.  We also installed a coolant filter system.

These two sites have a wealth of info on 6.4 modifications.

This is the one we will be using when we go on the road DPF/EGR tuners, they have them for Chevy, Ford, and Cummins,     http://www.powerupdiesel.biz/powerstrokedieselchip-s/30.htm

They have a 6 month Money back guarantee.
Barry Sadler has set several world land-speed records in diesel trucks... HE KNOWS DIESEL! 
Take a look, you have nothing to lose.

We run the H&S Performance MiniMax DPF delete on our truck...It was to improve the mpg mostly...gained approx. 2-3mpg and a whole lot more power and runs cooler.  We travel at 60-65mph and get 8-10mpg...If I slowed to 55mph I know we would do better...4.88 gears are great heavy tow gears but sacrifice fuel a little.  Our rig is approx. 19,000lbs and 44 ft long toyhauler.  Guess you have to pay to play...LOL.

 Tom, which truck do you have?

Red - we have the 2012 F450 6.7 engine, hwy towing usually 8-9 mpg, lucked out on our recent trip out of Sacramento to Arizona and got 11 MPG!! Whoo hoo, that was an improvement, but very little mountain terrain to deal with other than the passes out of Bakersfield area. Locally, not towing we get 13-15 mpg, around AZ we've been getting just over 15 mpg which again we're attributing to being mostly flat. Either that or the truck just likes the sunshine vs. the rain

Oh yeah, Dale's been using a Diesel fuel treatment regularly for 2 months and that seems to have improved our mileage about 1-2 MPG.

We're towing a DRV Mobile Suites, GCVR of 18,500, plus we have 1000 lbs of "art booth stuff" (weights, glass cases, canopy, display shelves, etc) in the bed / cab / cargo box on the roof of the truck) so even when we are running around town without towing, we have an extra 1K of weight in the truck that we only unload when we are actually participating in an art show.

Does that help? 

Congratulations on your new truck, you're going to love it!  We bought a 2011 F350 lariat about 2 months ago & love it!  It rides so nice and we are getting about 19mpg around town. Which in NJ is a lot of stop-n-go traffic. We don't have our 5er yet but are optimistic it will get goodmileage with the 6.7 diesel. Good luck with it.  We will be in Tampa for a day or two finalizing our choice also. Maybe we will run into each other.
