    Newbie New with trouble

    I have a 99 F-250 with a 7.3 and 286k. I've had it for three years and it has and still runs perfect. It has averaged about 19 mpg until recently, when it suddenly dropped to about 14 mpg. Smell like it's running a little rich. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I have a 99 F-250, 7.3. It has 286k miles and runs like a dream. I have averaged 19 mpg for the last three years. All of the sudden it a dropped to 14.7. It smells like its running rich. I have been told it may be a temp sensor. This is my first diesel so I'm new at it. Any suggestions?
