Will it improve my F-150 towing performance and mileage?

I haven't noticed that great of an improvement,but it did make my truck shift hard, I had to do a custom program to decrease the shift preasure

It will give a gain in power to help with towing you may see an increase in mpg as long as driving style stays the same it dose have a programs from towing on it or like me a cold air intake and from what I can tell is it has helped with going up will not shifting as much and still getting 19 unloaded and about 15 with the bed full of wood

It improved my gas mileage from 12.5 to 16. Plus with the performance function it's like driving a entirely different truck way more power.

I have been very pleased with the performance makes the truck come alive. I have noticed that the truck shifts better. It all depends on which setting you are in. #3 gives best mpg and great for Highway driving or showing off but shifts seem harder when just city driving. I use #2 setting all the time shifts feel good and major performance compared to stock plus 2-4 mpg's better. I only use # 1 when towing and seems fine. Hope this helps.

Yes. Your MPG will increase and you will feel the difference in acceleration.

Mpg won't really increase to make a huge difference. My silverado went up by maybe .5 mpg that's it.

It seems more than sufficient for my F-150, I would start with just one. By the way, once you install it, you will love it.

the literature says it does but I've never used it. I have only used the first two programs the economy ant the number 2 for towing. I noticed a slight increase in power but not better fuel mileage in economy although I haven't been able to take trip to road test it, I've just driven it back and forth to work in winter using fuel to warm it up (I live in North Idaho). The tow program gives significant increase in power and fuel is still the same. I average about 15 empty hand calculated. I haven't tried the performance program yet I'm still playing with it.

The 40410 and the 40417 will both work on your truck as long as you have a gas engine just note if you plan to run the performance tune you will need to run premium has 93 octane or higher any other tunes should be fine with regular i have my chevy set to the tow mode with higher shoft points and firmness and usualy run mid grade gas unless the wife gets gas then she gets the cheap stuff took a 600 mile round trip just the other day and averaged around 19-20 mpg with 35 in tires

Limited amount of power and gas mileage you will "feel" but there is some of both. I see biggest benefit when towing. The shift points in the auto tranny are better. Also your speedo can be adjusted for the 35's.

My truck has 85000 and it's made a dramatic improvement. Shift points speedo fix for tire size and rpms go farther between gears. I recommend it. Specially if your running with a lift and oversized tires.

I went from 15 avg to about 17.5. I do tow a lot, so that included highway, city, and towing. My best road trip unloaded was 18.35. But I ran the transmission tune as well, and setting on HOT!! Great power when you need it! Running with DPF removed is a must to gain any real mileage.

Yes, you will use a little more gas but it all depends on how heavy your foot is. I find that it has more pickup so I can usually keep my foot off the accelerator so the trade off of power to mileage is not that bad.

If you manage to keep your foot of the throttle it can give you 1 to 2 miles more a gallon. Well that what I get on a 2005 f350 dually. On street tune.

I think it would eventually because once you feel how much quicker the truck will be with this boost in power, you won't want to baby it anymore. It really gets rid of that factory 7.3 sluggish feeling. Way faster throttle response and quick off the line.

Please check the banks website for specificd for your truck model.My uniy was a easy install for my 2003 F 350 and the performance is impressive!

Yes it does work for that truck, and yes it can help with your fuel mileage and performance if you tune it right, have cold air intake and throttle body spacer would help out as well

I use it on a 04 Tahoe w/ 5.3.... I run the performance program most of the time because it seems to have the best mileage and performance overall.. I did run the mileage program recently on a 800 mile trip and I got about 2 mpg better than the Performance program, but the responsiveness was definitely not there. for any type of towing use the tow setting.. I've tried towing even a light trailer with a couple of quads and I get a check engine light.. When you scan for codes it shows a lean fuel code for whatever reason.. Never had that happen with the Tow program..

That was the recommendation I found on the internet. Gap mine @ .54 and have a 2002 f-150 with a 5.4 liter engine.
