Hello, to anyone interested these are the exact injectors I used to upgrade my truck, I will update this link as they become available. www.ebay.com/itm/305673281604?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=J_KkMPQWS6m&sssrc=0&ssuid=J_KkMPQWS6m&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
@@geth__commands_6300 Im interested in upgrading the ignition on my truck as well, Ill be looking into the parts you mentioned there! Thanks for your comment! 🫡
Getting further than 14 miles on a gallon of gas in any 460-vehicle is good. 3:55:1 gears and taller tires help you a lot here, along with your good new parts. Great video. I know guys who say their 460 4x4 gets 8-12mpg at the most, but some of them have 4.10 :1 or even 4.88:1 gears with a lift and tires similar to yours.
Yes the gears and the size of tires do have an effect, also the type of transmission the truck came equipped with. Some automatic trucks were made with no overdrive and those get terrible fuel economy
Excellent video! The EV6 style injectors are a big improvement. I had a 94 F150 4 x 4 in the past. It had the 5.0. I loved that truck. I always knew the intake tubes were a restriction. Never got any better than 13 miles a gallon no matter if the AC was on or off. Beautiful truck but it started rusting from the inside out in the bed area. Nice you have the injector flow tester. Great job Luis!
Thank you Rick 😎 those tubes really helped the truck accelerate! I love the Aeronose style like you had too, thats what I originally planned to buy. EV6 injectors really are wonderful, I feel like the truck picked up high end power from just putting them in. I use them on the mustangs too 😂
thats a beauty old truck. had a 95 f150 351w 4x4 automatic, wish i'd known about rust proofing back then... might still have it... northern climates and salt eat vehicles for lunch
Thank you James, Ive been itching to bring my truck back into the channel, hopefully when the rains goes I away I will actually be able to shoot new content 🤣🙏
I’m a new sub! Thank you for making this video! We just bought a 1988 F250 and it has about 90,000 miles on it. I will be watching all your videos so that we can make the most of our new “old truck”. 💛
@@Annie-wn1zx congratulations on your new truck, and thank you so much for subscribing! Im working on new content with my truck, will be installing a new exhaust on it soon!
Yes, Im definitely moving on from the fuel economy stuff with the truck, Ill be working towards installing headers and exhaust, and Im planning on doing some work to the engine, ported intake and heads, a cam and Ill see where it goes from there
Fuel blend, atmospheric temperature, and even a basic tune-up would give you that type of mpg improvement...... The K&N filter flows absolutely no more cfm than the oem filter except in ISO facility test it is well documented that they do allow a substantial amount of particulate dirt into the engine which WILL increase piston ring wear. Even swapping out new oem injectors would give you...most likely increased mpg.
Hello thanks for watching, by far the largest increase came from a proper tune up, you are 💯 correct. Everything else I did, the intake mod and the injectors only got me about 1.5mpg more than I was already getting
Thanks for the vid! I just traded my nice Honda Foreman Rubicon for a 97 F250 with a 460 and 301k on the clock. Truck is worn down but that engine sounds great other than the passenger exhaust manifold leaking! This is very helpful as ive never owned a 460 before!
Hello, I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment! I honestly think all 460s have leaking exhaust manifolds at this point 🤣, mine is leaking too and I think it is because one of the bolts is broken. Good luck in your journey of driving and sorting out your truck, I absolutely love mine still, even after 4 years of owning it 😄👍
@MrBlitzkrieg1987 I was going to ask if you've ever pulled the manifolds off. I'm sure it's going to be an absolute bear. Might leave that one to a shop with a proper torch lol
@@frontporchpickin289 I haven’t done it yet, but I will have to soon… I know at least one of the bolts is broken so I will need to extract it somehow. I really would like to get some headers but they’re so expensive that I may have to wait on that too
Just sharing as a data point. 97 F250 PowerStroke (diesel) long bed, 5 s/p, RWD with 4:10 gears. ~ 200K miles on it now. On freeway doing legal speeds (meaning doing posted speed limit of 60 MPH and slower than surrounding traffic) I can get close to 20 MPG, but if I keep up with traffic ~ 70 to 75 MPH, my MPG drops to ~16 MPG. Tire pressure on the high side seems to really help.
You can say bad gas mileage , I get 7-9 in my 96 3/4 ton 4x4 at the moment but has exhaust leaks at manifolds and has 222000 miles. Going to rebuild it anyway but this still cheaper than paying 1000 momth truck payment then getting 18-22 miles per gallon. Great information
@@texman8742 I completely agree with you, I couldn’t afford to pay for a new truck, but Im also not afraid to work on fixing mine! i know Im not spending $1000 a month on gas either so a payment on a new truck also wouldn’t make sense for me
I have 2 F250s with the EFI 460. 94 Super Duty best I ever did was 13 and 1/2. The other is 11 and 12. The only way to make these trucks get better fuel mileage is to get rid of the speed density. Convert them to sequential fire they will get 16 and 17
Hi! Definitely you sound like you know what you are talking about! The plan I had for this truck was using the ECU off a 5.0 Mustang to run a Maf and sequential injection, Im not sure If I will still do it, but it’s really a possibility.
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 you can but it's a pain in the butt. They have kits now but they're just way too expensive. But with that being said you have a good looking truck
Sure would be helpful to have a specific part number on those injectors. Easy to throw $ at wrong parts. Yes, I did read your response to similar question, but a little more detail would go a long way. Many thanks. Good content....
Its hard to be more detailed than the exact car you need to get them from. There’s a lot of knockoffs being sold online so i dont want to be responsible for giving out a part number and giving china more 🇺🇸 money, hope you understand.
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 & I still see several of those pickups out on the roads today too. My favorite model on those is a 2 wheel drive extended cab short box with the front bucket seats & XLT Lariat trim level.
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 & my favorite model on the next generation ones that were introduced in 1992 right after those is the limited edition Lightning pickup. The Lightnings weren't produced until 1993 & was Ford's answer to the Chevy 454SS pickup which was introduced in 1990.
I love the lightings, I also love the short bed trucks! Recently I started looking at the crew cabs with a long bed as well, there’s just something that draws me to those long trucks! I just love that body style, it’s really very similar from the early 80s to the mid 90s
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 yes those boxy body designs are cool. I think the nick name for ones the same generation as that white F-250 there are bricknoses if I'm not mistaking because of their flat front. Ford's stepside box was dropped in 1988 but was later redesigned & brought back in 1992.
@MrBlitzkrieg1987 I'm very interested in the injectors you used. Could you put in a pinned comment what the model number was for those injectors and which vehicle/engine they are normally used in . Thanks and great video. 🤓
Hi, hope you’re doing great! People asking me what injectors I am running actually helps my video 🥲, so thank you! The injectors are from a late 90’s to early 00’s Ford Taurus 3.0 DOHC, the earlier models have the ones you need, the only thing to watch out for is the plugs at some point Ford started using oval plugs on the very same engine, so find ones that have the square plugs.
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 What you can't swap an entire firewall and dashboard from a 2010 super duty on your driveway in your spare time? But in all seriousness it would be nice if people would do budget swaps like a 7.4 powerstroke or cummins (which came in Ford F650's). I know Rich swapped a 03 GMC Yukon with a blown 5.3 to a cummins 4bt and doubled with fuel economy to 24mpg. He did that on a budget.
I would like to change the SD to a MAF setup, kinda of pricey. I live in a rural area and slowing down helps get better mileage. 3.55 gears at 60mph seems to be the sweet spot. I have stock-size tires also. A big difference between city and highway driving. 5mpg versus 12 for me. I'm lucky I don't drive much. In the winter I leave it in 4wd for a few months. much snow and ice here in the winter. My truck is really good in the snow. I spend just under a hundred bucks a month for gas. good video, I think I already have those newer style injectors. I would like a fresh engine with the computer cam. Its in the future.
Sounds like you have a plan for your truck! Ive thought about going with a MAF sensor from a newer 460, on the last years California F250/F350 trucks had a MAF computer from 94-97. But the easiest way to do it is to find a set up from a Fox Body 5.0 Mustang and just have a chip installed to let it know it’s a 460 now. You’re right about the city driving, if I use the highway i get pretty good mileage, if I use only the street and short trips Ill get about 11mpg tops. Thank you for watching
I think that's about the best it going to get . I had a 2000 Grand voyager SE at 15.6 MPG after using Royal purple fuel treatment . You can probably get some high efficiency tires but I know most truck guys would never do that , also a lighter AGM Battery and some "smoothie" type wheels
I think you’re right! Maybe if I really wanted to squeeze every ounce of economy out of it I could get smaller street tires and convert over to Maf, but Im ok with what it’s getting now. Im really trying to get some more power out of it, I had saved up to buy the banks headers and exhaust kit but they discontinued it 😳
What you did on your intake pipe... that's a pretty common modification to 10th Gen F150's. It's aka the Gott's Mod. Looking forward to the truck content... I need to do some more on mine. I need a core support pretty bad, and that should be fun. I think I asked before, but who makes your fuel injector tester/cleaner?
I love watching truck content, Ill be all over those videos when you post them! 😂 Yeah even on these older trucks cutting those pipes is super common, probably one of the first things people modify. So the flow bench I use is a cheap Chinese one made by LAUNCH, its good enough for anything DIY, but there are tons of better ones. The only thing annoying about it is that it only does 6 injectors at a time
@89G yes, they make a bunch of different stuff! Ive had this one for years and the only thing I had to replace is the fuel pump, which I cross referenced to a honda civic pump 😂👍
Part is sold out, will update the link when its available again. Sorry I don’t have a part number… mid 90s 3.0 DOHC Taurus is what the injectors come from but after a certain year the plugs do not match so be careful! Also do yourself a favor and stay away from the Chinese “new bosch” injectors being sold on Amazon and ebay
I really like the look of your truck! I just picked up a low mileage F250 just like yours FWIW. What are the wheel and tire sizes you're running? I like how they aren't huge and require a lift kit install to clear the fenders.
These are just shy of 33inches I can get you the exact number and model of tire when I get home! Yes they definitely transformed the look of my truck 🤣🤟
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 Thanks a lot for the quick response! Yes, greatly appreciated as I have no desire to deal with lift kits and 35's or bigger. Yours looks just right as it sits for a daily driver.
Hey, so the injectors Im using are off a late 90s early 00s Ford Taurus. The one with the 3.0 DOHC engine, be careful because some later ones have the oval plugs that will not work with your harness… make sure you find the rectangular ones
The 460 known to pass everything but the gas station ⛽️ 14 miles to the gallon not bad my gen 1 raptor 6.2 10.1 miles to the gallon ugg gas is going up again unfortunately 🔧🚗💪🇺🇸🙌👊
I agree, she’s no Prius but I still love driving it! Even if I stop at every gas station 🤣! Raptors are a whole different level of Truck! Keep it forever 🇺🇸
Hi, the injectors I used are currently sold out, I update the link every time they are back in stock. If you’re interested in knowing what they came out of, it’s from a mid to late 90s DOHC Taurus… make sure the plugs match yours because not all of them will. Also stay away from the “new” sets they have for sale for under $100 all of those are Chinese knock offs, I would recommend finding some low mileage used ones or just waiting for my link yo work again! i appreciate you watching by the way 🫡
Hello, the 6.8 V10 is a completely different engine, it’s closely related to the newer 4.6 and 5.4 modular engines. Most of the things I’ve done to this truck would not apply, other than possibly the full tuneup I did using factory parts!
HEY BRO I CHANGED MY T-STAT AND I FOUND MY CTS(COOLENT TEMP SENSOR)FULL OF GREEN MEAN,TOOK A WIRE BRUSH CLEANED IT UP PUT SOME DIE ELECTRIC GREASE ON IT AND ITS DAY AND NIGHT....IE IDLE,THROTTLE RESPONSE.WORTH A LOOK
Love this!!! I will definitely see if mine is the same way. My truck has been sitting for a while, plus I don’t think that sensor has ever been replaced so most likely your advice will help my truck 😎👍
You know what?! I’ve never checked to see where it is, since I’ve owned the truck! Im sure it’s at the factory setting because nothing was modified on it before i bought it 😳
@@Odessa45 K&N filter is definitely optional, I know lots of people hate it, but Ive been using it for a long time! It’s apparently an issue if your vehicle has a MAF sensor of if you do heavy off road driving, non of that applies to mine 🫡
Not a fan of them? I’ve heard that the red oil they use on the filter can damage your MAF Sensor, luckily these trucks have no MAF, since they are speed density. The K&N filter has an undeniable advantage, the flow of air passes through with less resistance than the OE filter, and that alone can boost your mileage if you don’t abuse the pedal. I think in this truck it is staying, but I agree with you and I wouldn’t use is if it had a MAF
K&N's are a huge no-go for offroad community. Without the oil, or not enough oil, or if neglected they will not keep dirt out of the intake. This gets worse if the filter as been on the buisness end of an air compressor nozzle after cleaning (to dry to filter faster). The air pressure opens up holes in the gauze. The juice is not worth the squeeze in my opinion. Run OEM filters to keep the crap out, or run oiled foam for offroad applications. I'd wager good money that the K&N offers no noticeable power gains over stock filters
@@derrikmiller33 that’s really interesting, the only negative thing I heard in the past was that they can damage sensors, this is the first time I get the perspective from an off-roader!

Yes, greatly appreciated as I have no desire to deal with lift kits and 35's or bigger. Yours looks just right as it sits for a daily driver.
Find me a good truck like that. 351w. I’ll fly out there and drive it home.
If you really mean that I will gladly find you a truck! I can still find them at a reasonable price, specially the brick and bullnoses.
Put the factory wheels and tires back on it. Probably see 2 more mpgs
Yes I figured that would make a difference, I do plan on replacing them once they wear a little bit more 🤣
What are the injectors you used? Do you have a part number?
Hey, so the injectors Im using are off a late 90s early 00s Ford Taurus. The one with the 3.0 DOHC engine, be careful because some later ones have the oval plugs that will not work with your harness… make sure you find the rectangular ones
Why did it take so long to start?
Think the starter cranked twice?
@@BeADad2447 probably low compression… old truck problems 🤷♂️
The 460 known to pass everything but the gas station ⛽️ 14 miles to the gallon not bad my gen 1 raptor 6.2 10.1 miles to the gallon ugg gas is going up again unfortunately 🔧🚗💪🇺🇸🙌👊
I agree, she’s no Prius but I still love driving it! Even if I stop at every gas station 🤣! Raptors are a whole different level of Truck! Keep it forever 🇺🇸
Hi Blitz, nice video and demonstration! The link in your comment is expired. Can you let me know what injectors are those? Thansk in advance!
Hi, the injectors I used are currently sold out, I update the link every time they are back in stock. If you’re interested in knowing what they came out of, it’s from a mid to late 90s DOHC Taurus… make sure the plugs match yours because not all of them will. Also stay away from the “new” sets they have for sale for under $100 all of those are Chinese knock offs, I would recommend finding some low mileage used ones or just waiting for my link yo work again! i appreciate you watching by the way 🫡
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987gotcha! Thanks a lot! These are nice trucks keep it running brother!
Living in L.A. be like 💀
😂 we use to have peak hour traffic, but now it’s literally any time you go out ☠️
Would this work on Ford gas 6.8 V10?
Hello, the 6.8 V10 is a completely different engine, it’s closely related to the newer 4.6 and 5.4 modular engines. Most of the things I’ve done to this truck would not apply, other than possibly the full tuneup I did using factory parts!
HEY BRO I CHANGED MY T-STAT AND I FOUND MY CTS(COOLENT TEMP SENSOR)FULL OF GREEN MEAN,TOOK A WIRE BRUSH CLEANED IT UP PUT SOME DIE ELECTRIC GREASE ON IT AND ITS DAY AND NIGHT....IE IDLE,THROTTLE RESPONSE.WORTH A LOOK
Love this!!! I will definitely see if mine is the same way. My truck has been sitting for a while, plus I don’t think that sensor has ever been replaced so most likely your advice will help my truck 😎👍
JUST CLEAN IT(ITS OEM WHICH WE CANNOT BUY)NOW I WOULD CHANGE THE T-STAT
I WOULD HAVE PHOTOS TO THIS BUT I AM 55 AND IT IS ALL I CAN DO TO ANSWER THE PHONE....LOL
WHERE DID YOU SET YOUR TIMING?
You know what?! I’ve never checked to see where it is, since I’ve owned the truck! Im sure it’s at the factory setting because nothing was modified on it before i bought it 😳
@@MrBlitzkrieg1987 LET ME KNOW
NOOOOOOOO! Don't use that K&N junk! DO NOT DO THAT!
@@Odessa45 K&N filter is definitely optional, I know lots of people hate it, but Ive been using it for a long time! It’s apparently an issue if your vehicle has a MAF sensor of if you do heavy off road driving, non of that applies to mine 🫡
Don't buy a 460 expecting great fuel economy
What if you already have the Truck? 😂 If I shared that mentality I would still be driving the truck the way I got it, getting under 10mpg
Throw that K&N in the trash!
Not a fan of them? I’ve heard that the red oil they use on the filter can damage your MAF Sensor, luckily these trucks have no MAF, since they are speed density. The K&N filter has an undeniable advantage, the flow of air passes through with less resistance than the OE filter, and that alone can boost your mileage if you don’t abuse the pedal. I think in this truck it is staying, but I agree with you and I wouldn’t use is if it had a MAF
K&N's are a huge no-go for offroad community.
Without the oil, or not enough oil, or if neglected they will not keep dirt out of the intake.
This gets worse if the filter as been on the buisness end of an air compressor nozzle after cleaning (to dry to filter faster).
The air pressure opens up holes in the gauze.
The juice is not worth the squeeze in my opinion.
Run OEM filters to keep the crap out, or run oiled foam for offroad applications.
I'd wager good money that the K&N offers no noticeable power gains over stock filters
@@derrikmiller33 that’s really interesting, the only negative thing I heard in the past was that they can damage sensors, this is the first time I get the perspective from an off-roader!
