Replying to: charltons (Nov 27, 2006 1:47 pm) 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. |

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. |

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. |

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?
