Thats about 2 mpg off of mine but you did get the 4x4, which sounds reasonable. Congrats to you and hope it is as trouble free as mine.

Totaled My2005 F250 PSD..need some advice by bubbabean

I recently totaled my 2005 F250 PSD...just settled with insurance company, and now need new truck. I am considering going to gas...i am waffling between the 5.4L and the V10...I dont want to underpower the truck, but I also dont want to burn fuel unnecessarily....does anyone have any ballpark MPGs for both, and good, bad, or ugly experiences with either. I do love the diesel, but the settlement will not make it possible.

From reports I've read, the V10 may do better. The reason being, your right foot won't be as inclined to shove the go-pedal in the carpet to get the truck moving when you know you have the power to do so with light throttle. Ford actually proved this to themsleves many years ago. When they were testing the original Escort, they wanted to offer a 1.3L engine standard and the 1.6 optional. In their testing, they found the 1.6 actually got better fuel mileage because the 1.3 was underpowered for the car.

01 f250 front end noise by newder

I have been having a problem that is driving me nuts. When ever I make a sharp turn, left or right, I get a noise that sounds like when you are turning sharp with your 4 wheel drive on, but its not on. I have taken it in and the mechanic says everything is fine, but its not. Any ideas?

I have a 2001 with the 5.4L and 2wd. Ballpark figures between 14 city, 17 highway and 9-10 towing. Had excellent luck with the engine and the truck as a whole, never in shop. Ive had it three years. It now has 105000 miles on it. Dont know much about the V10, though as far as reliability or mileage.

Sounds to me like a front end alignment is in order, but that is just my opinion. My advice would be to have another mechanic look at it, particularly one that specializes in front end work.

I get that same sound on my 01' F250. I am interested to see what people have to say on that one?
