    Mileage empty/towing 6 liter Fords

    This has been an issue for me ever since I got my '06 350. I tend to get around 10 to 11 mpg towing a 9k lbs load. I cruise at around 65 to 70 mph. Not bad I guess, there is plenty of power. The ball buster is that my business partner tows the same load in his modded Dodge Cummins, and he...

    who loves chuffin smoke on the hippies?

    I live in the People's Republic of Cambridge.... For those of you that dont know, this city makes Berkley, CA look like a KKK rally. People regularly show me the finger when I drive my diesel down the street. However, that is compensated by every contruction worker giving me the thumbs up...

    My turn

    Bio diesel has a lot of potential. As demand rises, new sources will be found. It may lead to farmers switching to soybean crops, and higher prices may help them break free from fed farm policies. Remember that when you guys are equating the costs, you have to compensate for the increased...

    I've been a road warrior as of late.....

    Its been a little while since I posted here. In fact, I had promised some pics of a downpipe, but then, as it sometimes does, life kicked into overdrive. I was in VA the weekend before last, and since then, I've made a delivery to Knoxville, TN, saw family in Atlanta, and picked up a new...

    Picked up my F350 on Monday (first post)

    I have to keep the cat because MA demands the same smog limits as CA. Whe dont need our parts to be CARB approved, but we need to pass a "sniffer" test. I'm at 1600 miles already! This weekend, I am going to southern VA, and have trips planned to Utah and Georgia by May. I am expecting 50k...

    I would gladly give up the camera feature if mine would always make and receive calls. Anyway, here are some better pics.

    Tuning for max MPG

    Thanks Ron, I have to keep the cat because my truck gets inspected every year. Otherwise, I'll look into the exhaust. As far as software is concerned, reliability is my top concern. The only tidbit that suprises me is that I might wait 40k miles before my truck is getting its best milage...

    Filling oil filter

    Of course there is no filter to fill with oil, but it is possible to fill the canister itself with oil. Most of the cars in my shop have a simular type of oil filter. Many people swear by filling this canister with oil during an oil change, but the manufacturer doesnt recommend it. Its a...

    Tuning for max MPG

    Any guys out there looking to get the best mileage? My trailer is light (7k lbs) and I have plenty of torque. I am wondering if better software with a more free breathing engine would lead to better mpg while towing. FWIW my truck is stock and I am yet to tow with it. Just looking for...

    I dont have any pics yet. I'll snap a couple with the cell phone this afternoon, but left my real camera at my mother's house. I'll get it this weekend, and get some good pics. Otherwise, I am towing a bumper tag 24 foot enclosed weighing about 7k pounds. My old 4Runner had no trouble with...
