Replying to: mschmal (Jun 17, 2007 7:41 am) 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) 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 wackiin  Yahoo.com. If your not having issues I wish you the best you better leave it sitting in yard. |

 Would like input on my buying decision. Need to decide between Gas vs. Diesel. The premium purchase price on the Diesel engine is an obvious negative, but don't want to make a decision just on that. My current F-250 is 5.4L Gas, but want more power this time. Never liked or owned diesels before due to noise and poor acceleration, but just drove 2008 6.4L, and it's vastly improved. Cannot find a dealer with a V-10 model to drive. Would appreciate any input on mileage, maintenance, pluses and minuses, etc. Also would be great to hear from someone who's had both engines. I'm mostly a desk jockey, so truck gets no heavy day to day use, but I tow a boat or camping trailer a couple weekends a month, and want to make sure I can upsize the toys in the future. Thanks in advance!! |

| 1 week in on my new 2008 F250 crew cab 6.4L diesel. The computer MPG reading on the instrument panel is optimistically high and inaccurate. That said, my actual MPG so far is 12.03 MPG over 1st 400 miles. Haven't towed my 7K# travel trailer yet, but getting ready for a 3 week trip with it from Boston to Yellowstone to Denver and back to Boston and will keep posting my MPG along the way. Would appreciate others doing so, as well. Love the truck so far, but I am mighty worried about what I've been reading about poor mileage for some folks. | |

Average cost is $6000 vs Gas. Average increase in trade value is over $4,000 vs Gas. Mark. |

I have decided against diesel, and need to decide between two gas engine configurations. According to tow charts for truck I want, configurations are rated as follows: a) V-8 w/ 3.73 pulls 9,100# b) V-8 w/ 4.10 pulls 11,100# c) V-10 w/ 4.10 pulls 12,500#. My towing needs require either b or c configurations, and price between the two is neglible. Since I tend to keep my trucks for at least 5 years, the decision for me is boiling down to gas mileage. I would love the extra muscle of the V-10, but the price of gas and the V-10 low mileage potential has me wary. I would appreciate any real world mileage data on the V-8 w/ 4.10 and V-10 w/ 4.10. Thanks! scares me to death scarews |

Replying to: f350arecrap (Jun 25, 2007 10:58 am) On another note my new 1200 mile truck is having the engine replaced. My truck has apperantly blown the back two cylinders no compression. Ford Customer service is being very nice but it looks like I got to drive my new Ford for 2 weeks and then its in the shop for a month. This could be a fluke problem, they say they have never seen this problem and have had none with these engines, but I have my doubts. I have requested a new truck, you know with a over $50,000 price tag and 1200 miles, its my bad luck. I feel it should be Fords Bad Luck! Let me know if your truck has problems. I will probably continue to let Ford try the repairs but I will be very reluctant to stand for further problems, then it will be Fords Bad Luck! I have driven diesel engines for nearly 30 years most likely over 1 million miles and have never had and engine failure or real problem so I guess bad luck was due, or not!
