I'll start with the tires
yeah I'll try changing up the tires first. I didn't have them rotated when the alignment was done because the dudes at les schwab told me if I moved the worn front tires to the rear they would just get "burned up" faster, and it is still an icy winter here so less...
It seems like my truck likes to wander. I bought it with the lift kit already on it so I don't know how the stock handling felt (I am thinking to go test drive some trucks to get a feel). It doesn't tend to one side or the other, it will wander left or right and if I am not constantly tending...
Injectors?
You guys ever have any problems with your injectors or fuel filters running bio. Ford has told me DO NOT RUN BIO, not even B05 or B20 and that it would cause all kinds of hell with my injectors. I was very dissapointed because my reason for buying my PSD was to run on and start...
Right there with ya!
I am also new to the diesel world and only had my first diesel truck a few months now. This site has been a good resource for all things super duty.
Welcome.
:hail Thank you o wise bushpilot.:notworthy
I was under the assumption I was getting better mileage in Tow/Haul because I make the same 40 mile trip weekly, every time before I leave I reset the avg mpg on my console. When Tow/Haul was on I would get 1-2 mpg better than with it off. After...
I am playing around with my new truck and still on it's first tank of gas? It seems like my gas mileage is slightly better when I have the TOW/HAUL option turned on. I thought this just changed the shift points but it seems like it is doing a bit more, maybe changing something in the fuel system...
Salt Lake City MPG
Sorry I wasn't able to get you my avg mpg here before you left on your trip. I just got my truck back last night from the shop. So far my avg mpg is between 9 and 11 miles per gallon. I hope overall I am getting better than that but I really don't think so.
Good luck on...
Maybe just air.
That could mean its just air in the fuel supply system. Which I don't think is a serious repair.
I am hoping to get my truck back today after two weeks in the shop with the engine pulled.
KEEP ON TRUCKIN' :thumbs
More like fall
This week is starting to feel more like fall. The temp is a bit warmer but the rains are rolling in today. Unless we get a major cold front I can't see it getting any lower than the high 30's at night. Here is a link to our local weather forecast for the week. ksl.com - KSL...
I'll track it
I'll try and keep track from Wednesday through to the weekend and let you know what I'm getting. My truck was showing 9.3mpg average on the console display when I got it. I think the previous owner had it chipped and did a lot of hot rodding and mudding. I am rediculously more...
Thanks for the info
Thanks for the correction and the link to the website. I hadn't been able to find them on the net. I am still learning about my own truck, alot had been done before I got it. I am the type that wants to know everything about every component on my rig.
Thanks man.
Probably known
Yeah, I'd agree that this is probably a known problem. When they checked my truck's history they told me the head gaskets had blown at 16k and were replaced. They are still replacing them under warranty again at 39k, without protest at all. I am good to my trucks and pretty light...
