hey guys what is your fuel mileage and what do ya drive and how much does it weigh.                          

i get 17 in town and 22 on the highway. my pickup is a 2004 f350 6.0L dually with quite a few mods. it weighs about 10000lbs. under a 21000lb trailer it gets 13 on the highway. not to bad. i aint complaining.  

2001 F350 SC dually 4X4 PSD 7.3, auto, 4.11s, amsoil oils, averages 14 mpgs, full overhead racks & boxes, 7800lbs.
2007 Dodge Quad Cab 4X4 dually, auto, 3.73, averages 17 mpgs.  

not bad for the dodge but the ford one is not to good. should be getting about 17 with that to. do you have anything done to it? if you put a air filter on there you will get better millage. ads about 2-4 mpg.  

What is best air filter to used oil our a dry filter?All the air filters say we get the most HP.But which one is the best out their?  

hustler-shan,do you have a FS2500 bypass oil filter on your truck  

01 Ford is basically stock, except for maghytec trans & diff covers, amsoil synthetics, what type of air filter are you running? TRuck has ladder racks & side boxes, maybe that is bringing done mileage.  

well put a air filter on there its cheap power and it sounds awesome.        


burnin rubber.... im not sure what exactly it is. but i know it is a exspensive one. I would say the best air filter by far is a K&N but i liked the "Green" air filter just as much if not more. the K&N dident give me as much turbo sound but it did give it about 5 more hp then this one. but i liked the turbo sound way better from this one and i will give up 5hp to have way better sounding engine.                

newfy..... i am running a "Green" air filter. its about $350 dollars or something like that. been so long i cant even remember how much it was. it was like 350 or 400 though. not to much.  

Hustier-Shan it is called a SOOT SUCKER the FS2500.What it does is extend oil change intervals,extend engine life,enhance horsepower, improve fuel economy,increase injector performance and it won't void your WARRANTY.One guy said he changes his oil every 30,000, he also said he could go longer and they also have one for the transmission to.It sounds to good to be true and it cost around 500.00 to 750.00 I think.  

o well that is probably mine but i dont wate that long to change it i change every 5000 no matter how long the oil tells me i can go. but yes my oil filter is about 600 dollars but it does alot of what you said. i change it about every 15000. so every 3 oil changes i put a new one in. i guess i dident feel a power diffrence when i first put it in but i have had no problems with my pickup and alot of people say that the 6.0L deals out alot of problems. but i have not had one at all with the motor. just the glow pluggs is all that has ever went wrong with it.  

I talked to a friend from church today,he works at a ford dealship he said 6.0 is giving them trouble.He told me to stay away from them.I like ford,I drive a F-150 crewcab 4x4 and I love my truck but I dont like the 6.0.If ford would put 7.3 back in them I would buy a ford.  

so whats wrong with 6.0L. your not going to buy one just cause your friend told you to not buy one. i am telling you if you want to go ahead i have heard alot of stuff on them but i know about 7 people who have 6.0L and only one has been in the shop so far for injectors. that was the 2003.5 the first ones they made. but after that the 6.0L are pretty much flawless. and i have heard the 05 and up are one of the best 6.0L you can have. they are awesome trucks. the only reason they have a bad rep is cause every motor in the first years of its making is going to have some flaws but the 6.0L just had a few more flaws then the dodge or chevy motors. now the 05 and up 6.0L are virtually flawless casue ford and international/navistar have worked all of the bugs out of them.              

with my 6.4L i am not expecting a flawless life cause it is the first year they made that motor. so i wont be suprised if something goes wrong. hopefully nothing will though.  

what do you think about your new 6.4  

any ways my 610 cummins gets around 18 average quad cab 4wd auto, 94 powerstroke about 17 average F250 2wd regular cab 5 speed 4.11 gears and 96 12v close to 20 2500 4wd 5 speed 3.73 gears  

i like the new 6.4L i like how quite it is and i like the carbon fiber it has too. i like the 2 turbos but i dont think it helps much for pulling power. the only thing the smaller second turbo does is help you get off the line faster. it is smaller so it dont take much to spool it up. then when you get about 35 or 40 mph the second one kicks in and then you are off to the races.  

I know not everyone with their 6.0 is going to have problems but for the long haul I think Duramax would have a better resale because of the 6.0 problems.0Even if the one I had ,and their was nothing wrong with it,the problems in the past,not many people would want to buy it.
