Hit 5,000 miles today. Last weekend I pulled the boat (4,500 lbs) about 250 miles and got around 15.5 mpg. Probably could have done better but I was doing 70 mph. Wish the boat went that fast, or got that kind of mpg... 54 mph is the top end for the boat and I don't even want to know how much...- matt711

Gear Swap
At 1800 miles I am (according to the computer) getting 16.8 mpg of mixed driving mpg. Pretty darn impressed with that number. From 3.55 to 3.31 I can't imagine the number jumping too much. I guess the gear swap idea doesnt make a whole lot of sense.- matt711

Gear Swap
I would probably buy Ford parts and have the dealer install them if I decide to go this route. Im sure it won't be cheap and likely take me a couple of years to even get ahead cost wise with the slight increase in MPG.- matt711

Gear Swap
So my new F250 came with a 3.55 rear end. I couldnt find any with the 3.31 which was what I really wanted. I can buy a 3.31 ring and pinion for not too much money. What are your opinions on the cost/benefit of doing this swap?- matt711

Dave, I am unfortunately in Fort Bragg, NC. 3 hours from the ocean... I grew up in the Florida Keys so i really miss the ocean. Guess I should have joined the Navy. -Matt- matt711

Have been shopping and shopping, finally found the deal I was hoping for. Red 2013 F250 Crew Cab, PSD, 4X4, FX4, Lariet. Only option that I was unable to get was 3.31 rear end, I had to take the 3.55. With USAA pricing I got around $8,000 off, plus $2K from Ford and $1K for financing through...- matt711
