Is anyone driving one of these yet? I heard they are only getting 11 MPG... can anyone verify this? :roll:

I've been on-again off-again looking for three or four months now. I have to agree.. I don't like any of them particularly well either.

I still think that the old 7.3's were hard to beat.

While I do agree with you on the 7.3's lets not forget they had their early problems too. On the first turbo units they had head gaskets, glow plugs and glow plug relays, idler pulleys, cylinder cavitation, auto tranny problem, ECU issues, fly by wire pedal issues, and some that I forget. I think the main reason folks think the 7'3 is so good is, it was around long enough to work the kinks out. This is not unlike the Cummins and Isuzu engines also.
Then of course this is just my opinion but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once. :lol:
I have to agree. I had a 96 powerstroke that almost drove me crazy.Just small electrical problems,but so hard to diagnose.I have a 2000 powerstroke now and it has been fairly trouble free.flaboy?":2kmvatph said:Crowderfarms":2kmvatph said:I'd be afraid to buy any make truck, 1st year production.

He puts on a lot of miles for the company and the MPG have me scared. Anybody heard of any improvements for the new model year?
