Bought a 96 F350 crew cab, long bed 4x4. Made three payments on it and found out the transfer case was bone dry (NOW I know how to check the fluid level). So it welded itself together and while we were at it why not put a new tranny and transfer case in? 3000 dollars later and I've gone from 14 mpg to 20!! Does anyone else get this good? I've only ran one tank through but I was beating on it testing out the new running gear so I don't think it will get much worse. Thanks!!

 

I've got a 95 F350 PS and I get about 18MPG running 65 and not towing. My neighbor has a 96 similar to mine and he tells me he gets 20MPG. Mine has 285K on it and his has 145K and both are 2WD. So, if you are getting 20 MPG w/ 4WD I like to know who set yours up. I like to get that kind of mileage.

 

What rearend?

 

I thought I had 4.11's. It runs 1900 rpm at 60mph. It has 240,000 miles on it.

 

1900 at 60mph in what gear?
I have 3.55's and I dont get 20 mpg, 17 yes 20 no. But then I often have to use a pry bar to get my right foot out of the floorboard.

 

That's 1900 rpms in overdrive. That's why I was so shocked I got 20, I was not being easy on it while testing out the new transmission!!!

 

thats gotta be 4.10's

all I can say is WOW

 

does the new tranny have the same g/r in the trans itslef?

 

I got as high as 20 in my 94 psd. Thats with 410's.

 

I get 18 & 19 in mine, thats local (around the farm & town) and highway combined on both tanks. I usually don't fill up until both tanks are empty.

 

I Just Love The Sound Of My F-350 Turbo Whistle8d 8d 8d And As A Result I Am Lucky To Get 13 Mpg:-d ....................

 

im not responsable enough to get 20mpg. i have gotten that once just to prove i could....

i normally get 15 no trailer 10 with trailer.....

4.10's 265/75-16 5 speed

 

I get 15 no trailer and 10 with 15000 lb toy hauler. I have never seen 20. Although I never drive 65 either. lol

 

Have heard that Telysdyne fuel additive will give you better mileage. Anyone confirm that? Been using Diesel Power but not really sure of the results.

 

My f250 crewcab 4x4 automatic just runing freeway, just the truck at 70mph gets right around 18mpg. My stroker has 4:10 gears 285/75r16, and deleted muf and cat. other than that it's stock.
