New 2005 F250 6.0 Deisel

[GBLASER]

Just picked up a new "Screaming Yellow" F250 6.0 Deisel 4X4 yesterday. Very nice truck, sunroof, leather, rides great. Does anyone have this motor and if so what kind of MPG should I expect?

[Dusty Times]

I love this motor much more than my old 7.3
Not sure on my mileage. Something around 14mpg with 35" tires

We just bought an '05 F350 with that setup,, and we are getting around 16 mpg with the stock tires...

Thanks for the info...This truck rides way better and much quieter than my 02 sub and alot more leg room. My wife and I could never put our seats all the way back in the sub because my kids (13 and 17 year old girls) are 6' and 5'11"and they had no leg room. I'm 6'3" and my wife, the shortest one in the fam is 5'9, so we need the room. And yes we get staired at all the time

You sound like us,, I'm 6'4",, AzLakeLizard (mrs mardonzi) is 6',, and our shortest kid is 5'10".. Plenty of leg room in those 4 door Fords

[GBLASER]

So you know the stares.... I hated to ride shotgun in the sub and would never ride in the back seat. This F250 is a dream ride for us compared to the sub

them fockers!! LOL, seriously, the fords have mucho room inside thats for sure!!

I'm only getting about 13. I just picked up the RBP package mid last week and I've already seen in increase in miles per gallon. Not to mention, I know have a rocket ship. This thing is fast!!!!!

Anyone have connections for a 4-6" lift? Gary's in montclair wanted about 3500 and they would cover the factory warranty. they quoted a 6" lift with I think 35" tires and chrome rims (18"). Does anyone have pics of a 4" and 6" lift?

Had the 4 inch lift done at the dealership when we bought it,, 37's fit well in it with a small trim on the front spoiler. Tires and Rims are a bit pricy though,, 2200 bucks...
