Fuel economy need improvement
Guys;
My 2011 SD is a work truck and the fuel economy is not good at all. My truck has a Leer camper shell and a Bedslide loaded with 1500-1800 lbs of tools. My truck is getting around 12-12.5 MPG. I've checked it on the road, off road and the average is still...
Those of us who drive the 2011 250 SD with the new six speed trans finally have a solution for the transmission hesitation problems. Ford will have parts to replace the defective solenoid effective Sept. which should put this problem to rest. My transmission is as smooth as silk on the road...
Hey Tbar;

Hey Guy;
You're exactly right. I try to always check behind the dealership. I did have the technician check the fluid level and now I'm going to check it myself.
Thanks
My previous SD was a 2000 XLT with the 7.3 which I felt could no be beat. Hopefully the 2011 6.7 will prove me wrong. I purchased the super cab with 8' bed embellished with the Lariat trim package. Today I ordered a Leer camper shell to keep my bed dry. Got the Rhino liner sprayed in Monday.
Has any one experienced the six speed auto trans hesitating when placed in reverse? I have only been driving my new 2011 for two weeks but have experienced the problem several times. It usually hesitates for 2-4 seconds and then shifts rough. The fluid level was checked by my dealer and found to...
