Want to stop in and say hi to you all. Great site here. I don't have a diesel truck yet but starting to look at the advantages of owning one. Starting to look hard at the F-250 SD but not sure which style I like, crew cab or super cab. I know I want to have a lift on it as I like to ride up hide. Does anyone know what kind of mileage to expect with a diesel. Right now I have an Explorer with a V-8 and get maybe 15 miles so I'm used to not getting all that great mileage. Anyways great site and hope to talk later.

If you ever carry 3 or more adults on any long trips you will never be sorry for going with the crew cab. I tried to go back to supercab after my first crew cab, family balked and I sure am glad they did.

Welcome, Spiderbite!
You found a great forum.:thumbs

As far as mileage, it will depend on your lift and tires. Larger tires will lower your mileage quickly. You can see my sig and I am getting about 12 MPG right now. I'm hoping to change that with a Jody Tipton chip.
