15 minute mod, 10mpg to 16mpg, 6.7 powerstroke gets 60% better mpg, so easy you can do it too!

I take my Work truck and modify it so that it gets better fuel economy it went from 10 mpg up to 16 mpg by removing carbon buildup in the intake manifold and removing the throttlebody plate from the butterfly valve in the intake manifold, this is going to be part one and it is especially focused towards all of the 6.7 power stroke owners that want to get better fuel economy and mileage and mpg.

Depending on how heavy the load is I have gotten down to 11 mpg. Since 30k I always use Hot Shot's Secret LX4 Lubricity Extreme fuel additive. I also change the fuel filters with every T6 Rotella 10K oil change and swap out the oil filter at 5K. I get the oil analyzed at every 10k oil change and the results tell me I could go 3 to 4k miles further on the oil that I am changing. Is it overkill? Yes, but I want this truck to last. A recent change in my business model will put 3 to 4 times what I had been averaging in mileage. I pulled apart the intake at 75k and cleaned it. The intake wasn't that bad. No difference in mileage after the clean. An EGR and DEF delete with tune would be an option if I didn't live in an area that has emissions testing.

All that gunk is actually from your crank case vent (CCV). It is sucked in the intake right before the turbo then goes through your intercooler then up that charge pipe into the engine. If you have that much gunk then you really should pull the intercooler out and clean it really well with dawn… and all the hoses in between… then reroute the ccv (cheap and easy) and never have to clean that stuff again.

[@johnmazza9432]

[@adamm74]

@@johnmazza9432 personally I like the SPE ccv reroute kit. The kit comes with a hose that I ran along my firewall to under the driver door where it vents to atmosphere. You do have to cap off the inlet right before the turbo so air is not sucked in without being filtered.

[@MikeSVOR]

No. That soot is from the EGR sucking exhaust gas back into the intake from the EGR coolers. The oil from the PCV system is harmless, unless it pools up and then sucks it in all at once. The intercooler won't have that soot in it because the EGR is right at the throttle body.

[@adamm74]

@@MikeSVOR Sorry mike, you are wrong. The intake from the EGR cooler is BEHIND the throttle plate. That throttle plate actually cuts off flow from the turbo creating a vacuum so that it sucks more exhaust gases into the engine from the port BEHIND the plate.. This means that the soot from the EGR never touches that throttle plate because it is immediately sucked into the engine. The only other contaminate is the CCV. This oil is also not harmless... When oil mixes with the EGR soot then it builds a film of poop through the intake. This soot coats valve stems and piston walls, causing wear on both. Oil from the CCV can also build up in the intercooler reducing its thermal efficiency. I once emptied a quart or two out of an old 7.3 intercooler. A simple diagram of the EGR system can be seen below. Hope this helps. I did the CCV reroute at 10K miles and now im at 130K with a spotless throttle plate. I pulled mine apart after I watching this video to look at it. dieselnet.com/tech/engine_egr_sys.php

[@MikeSVOR]

@@adamm74 sorry dude. The soot comes from the EGR valve and even the throttle body gets dusted with its soot. There is no soot accumulated upstream in any of the pipes. The intercooler, the high pressure pipes and even the turbos are clean with only oil from the pcv system getting on them. The throttle body, egr valve and intake manifold are coated in soot from the egr valve. I know this system well. I've deleted mine and have had it apart multiple times.

[@KendrasEdge757]

This will not increase fuel mileage. I did this like two years ago except I took the entire manifold off and soaked it to get 100% of all the soot and oil out. I then replaced the “throttle body” with the H&S model and down pipe and it did nothing for mileage. But I already get 18 mpg on the highway empty. If you own a 6.7L that gets 10 mpg empty on the highway… you have other issues.

You want to severely reduce a diesel engine's service life? Strap it with a bunch of emissions equipment. EGR, DPF, SCR cat, dosing valves, pig urea,... The valve is there because Ford felt it needed to be there to promote EGR flow by modulating the flow from the fresh air side to increase flow on the EGR side to help the engine meet the EPA requirements for the control of NOx. EGR is an emissions item and provides no performance or mileage benefit of gas or diesel engines. Does routing a hose from your posterior to your mouth benefit you in any way? Didn't think so. However there may be a traction control benefit from this valve by the system being able to shut the EGR valve, restricting the fresh air intake, and going into fuel cut. I have not read that in any system operation description so far. So it is not likely.

Delete the truck man. Did my 2019 Cummins off the lot and went from 16mpg to 26mpg (I have pictures to prove it) on the highway. Do the stealth delete if you feel like doing the extra work.

[@PeterParker-ot8pl]

By unhooking your trailer?

[@rockyfox7000]

Did not work for me, have 2014 f350, check engine first day, then reduced power mode, put it back in check engine turned off, bummer needed the extra mileage :(

[@jass7981]

Getting 23 MPG on the hwy with a deleted 6.7. Is yours stock?

[@waynenickson1049]

Looks good

[@onecleanplatinum8434]

You won’t know if it threw a CEL cause yours is already on. DO NOT DO THIS!!

[@ydelgonzalez5603]

Thanks for the info. But will it still pass emissions ? Or void warranty ?

[@1marlojenkins125]

Diesels are exempt from emissions in the south.

[@Jason-vc9by]

What was the pic at 7:02 of? Maybe I missed it, but looked clean af and wondered if it was an “after” shot you took after the mid you were talking about…thanks!

[@UZCOexcavationexperience]

Looks to me like the whole entire upper intake has been replaced

[@KDlGG]

I’d love to see any 7.3 get 18 mpg, that is if you calculate it correctly

[@j.r.martinez8101]

As an engineer with both a 7.3 and 6.7. This kid is insane 😳 with towing mileage.

[@knuttsackjones3094]

My 97 7.3 F350 cleared 20mpg with ease

[@tomasperalta3961]

Not hard with a standard cab 2wd 5 speed. I got 23 on a road trip at 55 mph. More realistic was 19-20 for normal driving.

[@KDlGG]

@@tomasperalta3961 yeah not hard with one of the lightest 7.3s you could get, you weighed about or slightly more than a Dodge Charger. That would be the reasoning behind that

[@tomasperalta3961]

@@KDlGG absolutely noted that I had one of the lightest 7.3s! Just trying to make the point that 20 mpg from a 7.3 isn’t ridiculous. But obviously, definitely unrealistic for most, which seem to be super cab 4x4s or bigger. My current 7.3 crew cab long bed 4x4 gets 12mpg, but it’s an idi, slower than hell.🍻

Hi Tyler

[@Hogger280]

Diesel engines don't run a stoichiometric mix - they always run a lot of excess air.

[@justinkroeker1464]

Yes and no but this is a terrible idea for other reasons.

[@Hogger280]

@@justinkroeker1464 Don't bother to comment when you don't know what you are talking about.

[@justinkroeker1464]

@@Hogger280 lmao, I’ve been working on these trucks for 15 years, I have had about 7,000 come threw my shop that I manage. I’m not an expert at much but I know I know more about these trucks than 99% of people. You can do whatever you want bud, I was just trying to help the people smart enough to listen. Good luck

[@justinkroeker1464]

Correction 18 years

[@justinkroeker1464]

The do run off stoichiometric mix, they just aren’t as picky as gas engines, but this valve has nothing to do with that. It is for the egr system, if you have the egr still you need this valve. It lower intake pressure lower than exhaust so the egr will flow correctly.

[@fernandogarcia3338]

did you use any cleaning solutions for the intake

[@jonathanford7909]

Please on a scale 1-10 how much does this actually work??? And another scale 1-10 with 1 being bad for the truck, how bad is this for longer life of the engine??? Should i remove the butterfly flap??

[@Dawson-vy3zw]

Bro I seen this video a while ago and have been searching trying to find it again.

[@01supermoto24]

when you disable the egr system it will always throw a check engine lite- buy a programmer and delete

Nice truck. Check out mine. Someone did gastric bypass surgery on it. It’s a beast. 14-15mpg around town 17-19mpg highway

What did you do?

On a 6.7?..that almost the # of my 7.3

[@dockbuilderguy2591]

Nice name lol like that

[@chrisdirosa6326]

Dude a little bit of carbon ain't front isn't shit compared what is all the way through that plenum so you shouldn't waste your time scraping that little bit of bullshit because it gets a lot worse deeper and you don't delete your EGR guess what it's BACK AGAIN 🤯

[@RichardHarrison2014]

Been there and verified inside is a mass of dark mater and scraping did little. EGT/DEF delete is the only actual way to increase mileage. 2011 F-350 King Ranch 6.7 Turbo, simply works to delete. Legal is bullshit unless you are in a state that has inspections like leftwing nut cases in California.

[@Jaybird9005]

I'm totally trying this

[@johnbrown-zq9uj]

Was your 15+ mpg towing a trailer and if so how heavy.

Shoot 100 bucks to fill up? Try having a 48 gallon tank when diesels 4.59 a gallon

I have the deleted kit and I only get 14.2 on a 2012 6.7

[@citizenfirst5826]

A bed cover is about 10 to 13% added fuel mileage due to wind resistance.

[@brycesulser5728]

Mythbusters actually proved that a bed cover gets worse mileage.
