I haven't heard of anything major. My only complaint is fuel economy. And, near as I can tell, that's simply the cold and winter blend of fuel that are causing this issue.

I have no real complaints aside from that on mine. I love this truck!

I think the fuel economy complaint is coupled with the fuel prices here in the states, i dont think he has that problem

Ajman is in the UAE

fuel economy is not going to be any problem and te weather here is nice in the winter (24c-17c) but in the summer it really sucks (40c-48c) is hot weather gonna effect anything with the f250?

thanks guys

True true.

I don't think you'll have any issues whatsoever in the heat. These trucks get their best mileage when their warm anyhow....(not that it really matters )

Compared to what I am accustomed to reading in this forum, your grasp of the english language is refreshingly outstanding! Trust me, nobody here seems to mind poor grammar...

thanks guys

im going to the dealer tommorow and see when is the next shipment arriving because its currently out of stock

look for one of the newer <off the assembly line> units...it SHOULD have
a 3.55 in the rear by default now.

when i was "playin' around" the other night and tried to build one
on my own it wasnt showing the new 3.55 option <yet>.

had mine for 8 months mow, havent had any issues except a noisy idler pulley, fuel economy has been ok, best of 19-20 unloaded on the highway, ang 14-15 around town, been getting 12-13 plowing snow with winter blend. great truck, draws a crowd where i go, not too many around here, surprisingly.

HI hdjeff, The MPG that you are getting, are hand calculated, or are you using the truck computer???? VERY IMPORTANT to me!!! I want to get the FORD F250 6.4 PSD 4X4, but MPG seems POOR, I was starting to look at the DODGE 2500 6.7 6-cylinder???
