#72 of 134 Re: V10 MPG [felt] by wpalkowski Oct 30, 2006 (4:24 am)
Replying to: felt (Oct 29, 2006 3:00 pm) They've improved things a lot since '99. With a new valve train, intake and exhaust, the engine develops about 35% more torque and horsepower than yours, with about a 10% improvemwent in mileage. Unfortunately, 10% better than poor, is still poor mileage. Replies to this message: felt (Oct 31, 2006 6:07 am)

Replying to: wpalkowski (Oct 30, 2006 4:24 am) Thank you for your quick reply. Yesterday I visisted the Ford dealer, and he strongly recommended the V8. Looking at the gross hauling numbers, I believe the V8 my be acceptable. Anyone have any thoughts on highway efficiency with the V8? Maybe I need to explain: twice a year I drive X-country empty, then pull my 5th wheel only about 300 miles. Thanks in advance
#75 of 134 how to tell axle ratio on an f250? by charltons Nov 27, 2006 (1:47 pm)
How can I tell what my axle ratio is on my f250? Is it on the vin, or on the data plate? Any way other than jacking it up and turning the wheels would be nice. Thanks. Replies to this message: wpalkowski (Nov 28, 2006 5:20 am)

Replying to: charltons (Nov 27, 2006 1:47 pm) You don't say what year your truck is. For '99 and up Superduties, the axle code is on the vehicle certification sticker on the lower doorpost behind the driver's door. That code tells you axle ratio and if it's limited slip or not. The only code-breaker I know is in the Helm shop manual. Here it is for a 2005 F-350 PSD DRW:   37 = 3.73 non-limited slip 4L = 4.30 limited slip 4N = 4.10 limited slip   For an older truck, crawl underneath and look at the rear differential. There should be a copper tag attached to the differential cover. The axle code should be stamped on the tag in some form.

#78 of 134 2006 4x4 F150 Mileage by schleeb Feb 02, 2007 (9:36 pm)
With 2600 miles. 5.4L V8 extended cab 3.73 rear-end, and running Modile 1 Synthetic engine oil:   12-13mpg with stop and go only 14.4mpg mixed hwy and city 16.3 mpg on a 250 mile trip with cuise on 90% of the time going 60-70mph.   I'm not impressed... I want my 18mpg hwy like the sticker says. I'm affraid that will only happen at 55mph on the interstate hwy in North Dakota.

250/16 mpg is 15.63 gallons x $2.50 per gallon = $39.06 250/18 mpg is 13.63 gallons x $2.50 per gallon = $34.72   Difference was $4.32   Mark.
#80 of 134 Gas mileage by slorydn1 Apr 29, 2007 (8:38 pm)
I have a 2004 F150 Lariat Supercab 4x2, 5.4L V-8 with the 3.55 Limited slip rear axle. My gas mileage from March 1, 2004 through February 25, 2007 (I've been too lazy to add my latest slips to my spread sheet) is 13.898 MPG. This encompasses every type of trip from going around the corner to make my kids come home to several 1700 mile round trips to Miami and back, up to the 48455 miles my truck had on it up until that date. I bought it with 4 miles on it. My best average ever was 20.041 mpg on a trip from Asheville, NC to New Bern, NC (most of which was down hill) and my worst ever was 10.357 MPG when the truck was brand new and wasn't broken in yet. Right now I am pretty consistently in the 13.2-13.3 range around town and 17.5-18.5 range on the open road.
#81 of 134 F350 GAS MILAGE by fordz1 May 09, 2007 (6:54 pm)
I am going to purchase a 2008 F350 Crew Cab 4X4 LB. My family and I will tow a Fifth Wheel weighing 10,276 lbs unloaded about 3 times a month during the summer, and once or twice a month the rest of the year. I am not going to do any modifications to the truck it will remain stock. What MPG are other 2008 F250/350 drivers getting?
