   @ericeddy1976 probably right, cuz we added way to much lucas oil stabalizer in our last oil change but we dont own this truck any more but maybe others will learn from this.

   Chip it, the tow tunes on most chips will give you a increase in mpg. . .

    @e36bimmerfan and truth is we just traded the ford in for an 2008 2500 silverado diesel with the regency package lifted rim tires its nice just that it has a 20ish gallon tank and gets 12 mpgs but im changing that number soon

    @HaZeMySt ,,well yes and no, but we traded in the truck :”(
    ok at about 70,000 miles(currently 128,000 miles)
    something was causing the truck to lose power at highway speeds so we took it in to the dealer and there they put brand new injectors, turbo, fuel lines, and fuel pumps at no charge since it was under warranty and it seemed like new after that. . . . since, no problems(until now) been to the dealer for service about 3 times in a span of 6 years overall our longest lasting truck we have had
