All of you are doing better than my 08 F350 dulley. Ran from Cleveland to Hamilton yesterday pulling a 12 ft. box that was empty. I got 11.2 mpg running 65 mph. Pulled my 20' box last weekend with my Wrangler in it. I got 9.7 mpg at 200 miles round trip. At 4.00 a gallon this thing is killing me!!!!:mad:

I've got a 06 with a 6.0 (yeah, I know) and a SCT tuner on the performance setting. Around town, I get around 16, on the highway, I can get around 19 if I set the cruise and not get in a hurry. On the 65 hp tow setting, I get around 13 or 14 depending on terrain. That's hauling a deckover with a Jeep on it.

I use an '02 van with a 5.7, a quad in the van, pulling my 28' toy hauler full with a tracker and 2 quads only get like 6-7mpg I think it needs a tuneup and that's horrible mileage, but I guess if I'm only gonna be getting 12-14mpg anyays with a diesel then I guess I should just be happy i'm not making payments on one

I thought you sold your truck, I saw what I thought was yours on a Dealer Ad in your area.
I've got the same truck, do you still have the original heads, gaskets , studs etc.? I get ~ 14-15 unloaded and 10-12 towing 7K.

I had it for sale and a kid told me he'd take it then backed out. Since then, I bought another crawler and trailer, so it's sticking around for a while. It's completely stock with the original heads, studs, gaskets, etc. I talked to the guys at SCT before I bought the tuner and was told that it would be safe as long as I stayed out of it. I have a pyro gauge and it never goes above 1200. I'm sure it won't last forever, but I treat it pretty nicely.

Thats good to hear, Thanks.

Wow it's amazing what an air filter and fuel filter do.I can tell it's not sluggish and it's got more gitty up.

You can improve on that, but I would wait until you get closer to the end of your warranty.
