Replying to: branford126 (Jul 03, 2007 6:31 am) I now have about a 1000 miles on it and it is getting close to 18 miles per gallon on the highway. but normally I see about 14 which is a bit of hwy and city etc etc.. Seems to have improved as I put more miles on it. I am happy with the purchse and feel it will serve my trailer towing needs..

| I have a 99 F250 SD, V-10, 5sp, 4x4, 84,000 miles. Bought it 2 months ago, have put 10,000 miles. Took a long road trip, 2000+ miles , no load. The transmission broke at the tailshaft housing just in front of the transfer case. Before it went, I thought I had a u joint binding, but that's not what broke. The truck has had light use, good maintainance. Any ideas on what could have cause the problem? | |

I have read all of these messages with great interest. I recently had the opportunity to sit in an '08 Lariat Crew Cab and I fell IN LOVE! I own an '04 F-250 Crew Cab 6.0 4X4 Lariat LB with the 3.73. I have installed the FULL BANKS package. I love the truck. I get at best 17mpg on the hwy, figured with pencil ad paper and yes the mileage display is optomistic. I use the truck to carry my Ducati racing motorcycle to the race track and pleasure trips but only to destinations with adequate parking! I must admit that I drive the thing like it's a Mustang GT. Fully loaded with all of my racing equipment and the Duck (about only 1500lbs) on a steep grade like the Cajon Pass I love to pull up along side a Tahoe or Escalade and just pull away form them with little effort. That is until the 98 mph speed limiter kicks in.But it probably is not a good idea to go any faster with that much mass. Yes I believe that the debacle with Bridgestone/Firestone and Explorers brought on the need to put on a speed limiter. After reading the comments here, I think I will wait a few years bofore I get a 6.4. My truck with the Banks probably gets as much power as the 6.4, but If I get a 6.4 I will leave it stock. I have 33k mi on the truck so I am still within warranty and I am a little nervous about what I will do if I have a mayor warranty issue. I have had good service from my 6.0 with only a few minor problems at first, but I really love the 2008 Lariant interior. It is so upscale looking. Kinda like a Lincoln MarkLT except with much more thrust. |

Engine racing, white smoke, Now the thing started rolling backwards while parked on a slight incline. It was in park the emergency brake set engine off & keys in the garage door. I was at the dealership an hour before this happened with the service engine light on. The truck is a 350,srw,4+4, with 2193 miles on it. Has anyone else had these problems.
