Replying to: buyer2008 (May 27, 2007 7:37 pm) I think you are making a good choice. We looked at GM (no Dodges) and by accident looked at the Ford. We bought it as a tow vehicle but we like it so much we drive it everywhere. I am getting about 14 mpg highway city and as much as 20 on the road at 63 mph. Of course I am not towing anything. IF and I do mean IF I don't keep my foot out of the turbo, my mileage drops to about 8 or 9. But with diesel about 60 cents cheaper per gallon than regular my weight mileage is much better than my Suburban 454 at 10, 12 at the best. Ford got this one right (at least after 711 miles
#50 of 355 Please tell us what kind of Truck you have... by mschmal May 29, 2007 (11:17 am)
If you have a 6.4 Diesel. Tell us whether its an F-250, F-350 or F-450.   The 2008 Super Duty has a GVW range from 8,800 lbs for a short box F-250 SRW Reg Cab to 14,500 lbs for a F-450 DRW Crew Cab.   Rear Diff ratios can be 3.73, 4.10, 4.30, or 4.88 on the F-450.   You can't assume that because someone is getting 6 mpg in an F-450 with a 4.88 rear that you will also get that mpg in an F-250 with only 60% of the GVW and a 3.73 rear.   Mark Replies to this message: djw07 (May 30, 2007 3:51 am)

Hopefully this hasn't been posted yet. But here is a dyno video I came across of the 2008 Super Duty 6.4L Power Stroke Diesel.   It's at the bottom of this *Outlaw Power* Intake System page. http://www.outlawpower.com/productdetail.php?sc=1474 Replies to this message: haulin79 (Mar 08, 2007 7:37 pm)

Replying to: fordmud (Feb 17, 2007 8:53 am) Power and torque look very nice. This engine seems quiet, a good thing. Let's just hope Ford can keep that production line moving.

Replying to: kirstie_h (Nov 14, 2005 6:29 am) I picked up a 08-f250 Super duty with a 5.4 gas for the wife this Weekend. I’m looking for a cold air kit and a cat back system, any ideas?? Any one have an aprox. MPG rating on this truck? I’m new to your Forum and was reading some of the post they had great input. Thanks BigD76 Replies to this message: abp1 (Jul 20, 2007 6:18 pm)
#56 of 355 5.4 mpg. by mschmal Jun 17, 2007 (7:41 am)
depending on whether you have the 3.73 or the 4.10 rear end, your MPG should be in the midteens to 18 mpgs when you break it in.   I recently dove a Navigator L with the 5.4 about 30 miles mixed highway and city and got 17 according to the computer. This was a new truck with the 6 speed trans and I was very conservative driving it.   IT is all about how you drive, and how fast you go.   The size of these vehicles exagerates the affect of hard acceleration and going over 65 mph vs. a car.   Mark.

Replying to: mschmal (Jun 17, 2007 7:41 am) Thank you. I have the 4.10 rear gears, with the 5 speed auto trans. The wife loves it, it only has a 1,000 mile on it and we got 15 MPG on a short trip this week end doing 75 with the air on. Thanks again for your input. Dennis

Replying to: paasch (May 29, 2007 6:40 am) I have 4 of these 2008 f 350's and these are the worst purchase I have EVER made. if yours isnt giving you problems wait till you give it some work. Out of 4 ,3 have been down muti times 2 have had the motors replaced 3 have run hot due to faulty raditors. Only 3 MONTHS OLD. Fuel milage yea put a trailer behind it you will get 5-6 miles per gallon unless your driving 50. I am looking for others like me who have had serous issues with these to work a lawsuit up to collect damages and lost wages due to all the down time with these lemons. If you have had any kind of probelm please email me at wackiinYahoo.com. If your not having issues I wish you the best you better leave it sitting in yard.
