MPG; Pleasant Surprise....

what do you call that grotesque item in front of the trailer.
i bet in some states it would only be allowed out at night to keep from scarring kids

That would be a Cummins diesel engine. Unfortunately, the truck that comes wrapped around it doesn't even come close to a Phord for overall excellence...

The sheetmetal did the same thing to me. I've been thinking that if the PSD ever breaks badly enough that I have to pull the engine, I'll stick a 12v ISB in it instead of another 7.3. That way, I'd have an engine w/o a 'puter running it (already have the bolt-action tranny/t-case/hubs).

Other than to report that my kid brother immediately went out and traded in that overloaded '03 POS for an '05 POS of the same overloaded ilk....almost immediately after I told him I'd bought my Super Duty....I don't have much good to say about it (or the brother).

Small amount of credit I guess but heck if you are going to fudge why not say you got 23.2 like some guys say? 16.677905 is great if you ask me but when I hear 22+ I just roll my eyes..

Same here!!

well only if I am heading down hill and I reset the computer and there is a good tail wind and i ain't loaded down and I put a full bottle of diesel power service in the tank and pushing on the steering wheel to make it go faster.

If you eat a bean burrito for lunch before trying that, I'm willing to bet you could pick up a few more mpg's...
