7.3 diesel excursion MPG tuning

• Add to quote

Hi, I just bought a 2002 7.3 diesel Excursion with 3.73 rear end and 289,000 miles. I am looking for some advice for improving MPG and overall ride. Cold Air intake? Chip? An easy plug in dash module? Rear end swap? Rear end suspension? Anything else? I hear talk of guys getting MPG in the mid-twenties when towing on the freeway with their Excursion 7.3. So far everything is stock, it has been well maintained, and it runs great. The roof-mounted computer tells me I am getting about 15-16 MPG at 70mph. The front end and steering seem a little loose. I am looking for cheap, safe, and comfortable. I will be towing a 6500# dry wt 30' travel trailer and have a family of 7(4 lil kids).  

and that 15-16 MPG at 70 MPH is unloaded, no trailer or passengers, just me.  

The overhead display is normally off a few mpg. Ours would show 17-18 mpg and would actuly be 13 if hand calculated. I have heard claims of 18-20 mpg... more than that is not as common. This is an 8,000 lb hunk of steel, after all. We like ours... room for us and our 6 kids. Wife drives it daily. Sent from AutoGuide.com Free App  

Small non aggressive tread tires. It doesn't look cool but it will gain you a couple MPG. Don't trust the overhead. My overhead says I get 22 MPG but I actually am getting 15. Best I've ever got was 17 with the small bald tires that came on it. I put the tallest tires that can fit on the stock rims on there and I lost 2 or 3 MPG's right away. I improved MPG's by removing a wheel weight that was jammed in a rear break caliper. It got me thinking, with 200k on the truck, I'm betting if I put new wheel bearings in and anything else I can do to reduce rolling resistance I might pick up another 1 or 2 MPG's. Mods so far are AIS intake, 4" exhaust & power hungry chip. I drove mostly on the 100 hp tune but I drive like an old lady. I've averaged 15 MPG's all winter. A lot of that was driving with the hubs locked. A couple weeks ago I put x code springs in the front and it is like driving a new vehicle. Old stock springs are junk and you don't know how bad it is until you've replaced them.  

Mid 20's on an Excursion? That would be nice! In all reality in over 600K miles on the 4 PSD's the best mileage was in the 00 X out West on flat land lots of 55 mph travel, 19.8mpg. The F250 has gotten close to 18mpg a few times but again lots of 55-60mph few stops. The dually even with an economy tune is hard pressed to achieve 14 mpg. In most cases when you chip or tune a diesel it will add 2-4 mpg on the overhead which rarely equals 2-4 mpg on paper. Most likely to get 20+mpg on a full tank it would have to look like this, 2wd Excursion, xlt base model, rear seat out, no passengers, no wind, cruise at 55mph on the interstate with no wind and no stopping. BTW, congrats on your purchase! We like our 02 X as it's now all blacked out and planning to put in a 5in Icon full suspension kit with Bilsteins (already purchased 7). As far as shocks the 00 X has adjustable Rancho 9000's while the 02 X has the Bilstiens (non lift versions). When the 02 X gets the lift will swap out the Bilsteins for the Rancho's. Within 3 months one of the Rancho's failed and it rides really rough no matter what setting it's on.  

best way to add mpg....your foot, other wise other stuff MIGHT add 1-2 at a 1-2k cost, not worth the cost of return...just my :twocents:  

I own two 6.0's. My Excursion would get 17 mpg on its best day ever but would average around 16(my overhead lie-o-meter doesn't work). My 04 F350 will get 18.5 mpg. The truck weighs 7800 lbs not sure about the excursion. I replaced the front calipers on my truck and it picked up 2 mpg. I also don't haul stuff around I don't need. The excursion will get worse mileage because of aerodynamics. My cousin loses 2 mpg when he puts the cap on his 04 F350 6.0l.  

I just did a trip up north and towing a rx400 with a steel trailer and loaded to the max in my truck I got around 13.5 hand calculated... Coming home I got 18.25 with the trailer empty. I drove 65 and stopped just for fuel so every 650 miles I was putting in 35-36 gallons. I stopped twice going up and twice coming back... 1200 miles each way. If you can stay out of the pedal and learn to cruise they do extremely well. If you drive it like a pissed of teenager well enjoy stopping to put fuel in lol. The only thing you need to worry about is a tune with a lot of miles on the 7.3X's. I don't trust the trans. That is why I have not chipped mine yet.

Thanks a lot for the input! I'm pretty sure a TS chip is in my near future.  

So my Ex on a "bone stock" setup - but with a 4in. Exhaust from the turbo on out. 12mpg in the city, normal traffic. Highway - best I could get was 15mpg. The first mod I did was the ZooDad mod to the airbox. That really shocked me. 14mpg in the city and got up to 17mpg on the highway (still on a stock tune) Current setup KC turbo's KC66 + Tony Wildman Tunes on a Ts Chip, AFE bigboost filter (ie, 6637 equivalent) Rebuilt and beefed up trans with Triple disc converter. 15mpg/avg (on the spring/summer fuel) in the city and 20mpg highway (yes, hand calculated on a road trip) and 16mpg towing 9000lbs on the highway, 14mpg towing on hills (from Arizona back up to Denver) Been keeping track of all this after each mod I do. Next mod on deck will be adding RiffRaff's FRx mod here in a couple weeks. And hopefully the hutch/harpoon mods before winter. Hope that helps.  

While your doing the frx, gut the check valves in the stock fittings.  

Which fittings? Was planning on getting the fuel bowl rebuilt kit from Guzzle when I do all this. You mean the fuel filter check valve?  

http://riffraffdiesel.com/content/RESOURCES/High Flow Fuel CVD Fitting Instructions.pdf Here are some instructions. Riffraff sells the fittings for $36. But you can gut yours for free.  

With 289k miles, your going to be due for injectors any day. Unless they've been changed. If they are stock, you may want to consider the PHP Hydra. Much nicer chip with E-mail capabilities for tunes. I've got plenty of each in stock.  

Banjos are a waste of money. No real gains. You could always do Corey's quad feed and get rid of all the stock lines and fittings from the fuel bowl to the heads.  

Agreed with sbluke there Pat. The race truck I sponsored last year was at 730hp fuel only and still had 70psi fuel pressure running down the track on factory banjos (not drilled out either)  

I have a 2002 2wd Excursion with some mods and I consistently get 25-27 MPG on the highway going 70-75 MPH, however that's based on the overhead computer. I haven't really done any hand calculations so it's probably a few MPGs less. I bought it a little over a year ago bone stock and I would get 17 at the very most on the highways and 10-12 in the city. After a few months I stuck in a DP Tuner, AFE Stage II intake, 4" turbo back exhaust and gauges, my MPG significantly went up. I use the 80hp daily driver tune 98% of the time and I almost always get 25-27 MPG highway and 14-16 MPG city. The city is probably lower than it should because I've got a short commute and my engine fully heats up at around 3/4 of the drive there. I'll be making a ~750 mile road trip this weekend, mostly highways, so I'll do some hand calculations with pictures and update y'all when I get back.

7.3 Excursion - best tune for mpg?

• Add to quote

I currently run a Superchips Max Microtuner... I dont know much about the tune and frankly cant tell if it has made a difference. Its been on the truck for several years and im ready to make some changes. Is it possible to get this truck in 19/20mpg range with a light foot on the highway? Best i seem to get is around 16(hand calculated). Thanks!  

Obtaining fuel mileage is not easy to guarantee. Too many variables to consider. Drive your truck sensibly, take a log of what you get now and how your truck drives. Once you get a tune drive the truck the same way for the same amount of distance. Do this 3 times and take an average. This will be what your truck will get for fuel mileage. With a very well taken care of Excursion I can get maybe 18 in town with a light foot in the 80e. If your daily driving is mostly highway we have the 60e. I can get 19 in the 60e on the HW. Not huge but its what i get. Some may get better or worse depending on each condition. Diane  

That's why they always say "up to.....". It gives the image of you getting that much but it stops short of guaranteeing it. If you get the 80E tune mentioned and you drive like I do, 15 is about all you will see. :lol:  

Its possible, best chance to reach that mpg goal is custom tunes, intake and exhaust and single shot stage 1 inj's..plus drive for MPG's..  

You gotta be able to get better than 15! I get 15 in the city in my 99' superduty with a 7.3L in it. I've got a 4" lift and 35's and I don't have a tune or anything. It is stock all the way and I get 15 MPG!  

Not when you hit it whenever you can you won't. :jester: I also throw smoke at pedestrians when they skit across and force me to slow down so there goes mileage.  

With the price of diesel, it's just so very rare that I can afford a full tank of fuel--needed to properly measure fuel mileage. Three weeks ago, I finally filled up for a trip from NW Alabama to the North Georgia mountains. The first 200 miles was 4 lane/interstate averaging 65 mph. Then, we hit the mountains for the final 100 miles. After running through a full tank of fuel, I got exactly 20 mpg (manually figured.) Not bad for a truck that can run from 60-80 mph in 4 seconds flat.
