Looking to Increase MPG ['89 F-250 7.3L Diesel]

Hey there,

I'm looking to purchase a truck and have come across a good deal from a friend for his near mint '89 F-250. The only issue I have is that the 7.3L burns 11 mpg.

What modifications could I add on to improve the fuel economy? Short of a turbo which I don't have the cash for, I've thought of getting myself a performance chip and cold air intake. I've only been able to dig up one or two chips that advertise compatibility with a diesel that old. The one that keeps coming up in searches is this: http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/Dia...-R1000/560661/

Unfortunately I have not been able to dig up any information regarding that chip that does not come from a variation of the website it is shown on in the link. Has anyone ever used that chip? Or any sort of chip on a ford diesel as old as an '89?

Any other fuel economy suggestions?

Thanks
-Ben
