16.8 mpg for that truck with that engine is mighty impressive. Proving that whether a vehicle is truly a guzzler depends on how you take care of it and how you drive it.
Great video. I put the same throttle body on my 1997 Ford F-350 Crew Cab flatbed. It was the best bolt-on that I have done. By the way, I'm glad you fixed your headliner; I was getting hypnotized by the waves...
I’ve got a 1994 crew cab myself and I’d be lucky if I got 12mpg out of it! It’s said the only way to get great gas mileage out of these 460s is if you go and push it out of a plane🤣! You’ve got one awesome obs Ford man!👍
Nice improvement. Won't take long and it pays for itself. Its not often that a person is double Flabbergasted standing at the gas pump. Take care buddy.
TBH, I don't think I get that in my F150 with a 300. I mean, I got 20, once, driving boring-legal-slow on the highway, just to say I could...but I tend to get 15 in town and 17 at 70 on the highway. I think he might have some inaccuracy, what with the short fill, but if I could have a 460 at 300 MPGs...well, I'd wind up with 2 trucks, LOL.
I had a '92 F-350 crew cab, 4x4, 460, ZF-5. It got 14-16 mpg highway when you drove it reasonably. I had 35" tires and a Sky 3" RSK up front. Man I miss that truck. Got rear-ended at a stop light by a Ram Cummins with a travel trailer who had sun in his eyes. Insurance totaled my baby.
With the Ford trucks and vans, they don't track absolutely straight so they have a lot of road friction. Combine that with all the driveline friction and weight you can see where all the mpg goes.

I'm hauling a 10-13k gooseneck with my 97' F-350, just pulled the trigger on a new Banks headers/exhaust and the 460efiguys set up. May look at a couple of other small mods while I am at it, aside from the superduty suspension and axle swap here in a couple months I want to re-gear, my stock truck has 3.55's and they are horrible. Overdrive is not even usable, I am planning 4.10 or 4.56's and with these mods hoping to use over drive on the highway for a change. Will be interesting to see how much the mods help with the 3.55's. Been running this truck for 6 years stock now and I still prefer my old 97' over the new trucks, but some added power and mpg would be great, thanks for making the video!
@jimbell6024 i ended up going with 4.56’s, 460 efi guys intake manifold, throttle body, timing chain and gears, bigger injectors, and adding boport heads. I get 9mpg towing 12-13k i and i idle down the road at 65mph. Definitely happy with the power i have now, although the gearing in the 4 speed trans leaves something to be desired, i may swap to a 6r80. I dont ever wish i had a 7.3
I put the twisted smog on mine and talk about change in power it wasn't real noticable until I put the hedman heddars on it but still need the EFI cause that factory junk injection is crap
Can't seem to find 'Part 1'. I've already deleted the smog pump and emissions stuff. I got 12mpg pulling my boat for 8 hours across the state of Utah. I want to try this intake mod to see how much gain I get. Thanks for the Info.
Just bought a 91 f250 with the 460 in it and only getting around 5, if this is all you’ve done to the truck so you think it’s worth the money for me to get it??
Great video. I'm thinking about getting a 92 extended cab 8 foot bed with a 460 in it. What's concerned about the gas but looks like the stuff can be done. Only thing seller is saying about the AC is it needs to be charged and usually I don't think that just needs to be charged. Do you have any thoughts on that. Thank you in advance
I would suggest using GPS measurement, especially if you have larger than stock tires. It does seem possible to get that economy when you think of how large the engine is, if made to run efficiently it wouldn't have to work as hard to push the truck down the road.
Doesn't matter, the same combination was used, and 5mpg difference is the key here, even if the odometer is off a little he's seeing about 34-35% improvement in fuel economy! I won't lie, he's getting better than the 5.4 in my fx4

@@Hollywood49 it was a good upgrade. Better throttle response. I previously had the Holley truck avenger carb, and obviously the EFI was better at inclines, off-roading in general.

Hey guys, a couple quick questions: 1. Did you ever consider going with the Holley or Fitech EFI upgrade instead of the 460 EFI Guys kit? 2.

@@BadTreeProductions Oh man, I see now. You have a carbed 460, you never did the switch to EFI (correct me if I’m wrong). That’s awesome. Saves me a whole lot of money and headache
@@BadTreeProductions Thank you. Does your truck also have an aftermarket EFI kit though? Thats where your gains are probably coming from if you have it.
I want to know what gas the sky is running if it’s ethanol 10% which is the only thing you can buy or non-ethanol gas I’m in Texas there’s one place I can get non-ethanol gas engines weren’t meant for that 13 miles to the gallon on non ethanol or 8 miles to the gallon 10
Might show us your speedometer and compare it to your Phone's "Speed Bot" App to confirm a accurate measurement. (Since your tires are bigger and maybe a gear change) But, your mileage is well with in reach.
This kit sucks. It actually flows less than stock and sucks in hot air. Not to mention its a dodge part so its very cheaply made. The tps on mine wasnt clocked properly so it wasnt registering wide open throttle. You also have to hack up your cruise control cables which are almost impossible to find nowadays. For over 600 dollars you are literally getting raped twice over if you buy this kit. Thanks for nothing russel. I have since yanked it off my truck. Sold it, and put the stock stuff back on.
@@BadTreeProductionsglad to hear you are enjoying your stock 1997 dodge 1500 throttle body that you can buy online for less than 100 bucks. oh and the over 400 dollar twisted smog box when that was still available was just wires dead ended into silicone. The switch wasnt even attached to anything. It was a dummy switch. Thanks russel 👍
You're totally missing the point you're trying to compare your little f150 to an 8000-pound f350 that was built in 1995 and was equipped with a 460-gas engine. The point is a fuel mileage improvement was realized after the installation of the 460 efi guys throttle body kit.

@@BadTreeProductions Oh man, I see now. You have a carbed 460, you never did the switch to EFI (correct me if I’m wrong). That’s awesome. Saves me a whole lot of money and headache
@@_ben_friedman it's stock efi with a Holley tb
What is the exact part you used? Like a product code or something?

@@BadTreeProductions Thank you. Does your truck also have an aftermarket EFI kit though? Thats where your gains are probably coming from if you have it.
Watch part 1
I get 10.5 AT BEST driving like a careful granny.
how many horsepower this truck have?
@Jeremy Hunt
What gear ratio does your truck have in the rearend?
They won't respond to emails, tried several times.
Sorry to hear that.
My 7.5 got 10 mpg so 16.8 seems unbelievable
Crazy ain't it
Was it all down hill😂@@BadTreeProductions
97 excab F250HD 7.5L I only average 9mpg... 😞
I want to know what gas the sky is running if it’s ethanol 10% which is the only thing you can buy or non-ethanol gas I’m in Texas there’s one place I can get non-ethanol gas engines weren’t meant for that 13 miles to the gallon on non ethanol or 8 miles to the gallon 10
@@jo1980e Non-ethanol was used for this test. Thanks Joe.
What year is your truck
1995
This is a gasoline truck not diesel...So why show us the Diesel Pump 3.4 gallon out of the diesel pump?
Might show us your speedometer and compare it to your Phone's "Speed Bot" App to confirm a accurate measurement. (Since your tires are bigger and maybe a gear change) But, your mileage is well with in reach.
It's a gas/diesel pump combo. 87 91 or diesel can be purchased from one location. Maybe it's an Iowa thing idk.
Speed bot app is a great idea 💡 👍
Awesome
Why did he show the read-out from the diesel pump?
Wtf. My 350 gets like 10! Perhaps its time to tune the old carb i guess.
After more stops and gathering data our truck gets 12 13 on a good day.
12.6 in my 95 xlt 150 5.8w
Lol my ranger with the 4.0 gets 12 if im lucky
What EFI are you using?
The one on the description. It's also on the thumbnail
Currently has the horrible factory multi port dump injection
Thier ain't no way
My 4runner gets 12
And it's slow
This actually real? Like seriously 🤣
Im sorry but I jus don't believe it.
Only if you stay off the foot spoon
This kit sucks. It actually flows less than stock and sucks in hot air. Not to mention its a dodge part so its very cheaply made. The tps on mine wasnt clocked properly so it wasnt registering wide open throttle. You also have to hack up your cruise control cables which are almost impossible to find nowadays. For over 600 dollars you are literally getting raped twice over if you buy this kit. Thanks for nothing russel. I have since yanked it off my truck. Sold it, and put the stock stuff back on.
Haven't had any problems on our end, sorry to hear about your misfortunes. 🍻
@@BadTreeProductionsglad to hear you are enjoying your stock 1997 dodge 1500 throttle body that you can buy online for less than 100 bucks. oh and the over 400 dollar twisted smog box when that was still available was just wires dead ended into silicone. The switch wasnt even attached to anything. It was a dummy switch. Thanks russel 👍
@_BALLIN_ thanks, have a great day 🍻
@@BadTreeProductions sorry dude I'm just butthurt because I wasted a bunch of money
That's not correct, no fucking way man 😏check your math
I call B.S.
Get a better truck, my 13 f150 get 19.5mpg in the city, and 21.5mpg on the highway.
You're totally missing the point you're trying to compare your little f150 to an 8000-pound f350 that was built in 1995 and was equipped with a 460-gas engine. The point is a fuel mileage improvement was realized after the installation of the 460 efi guys throttle body kit.
Yeah but it probably sounds like a kitten purring and can’t tow shit
Wait I thought you said you had a truck? But then you mentioned an F150...
Almost 17 mpg with 35s get a job
Hahahahahahaha
What gears do you have ?
4.10
Thank you
What are you running for exhaust?
