Decent towing mileage.

Did a 200 mile round trip. Half towing a 19ft boat and the other half empty.

Started with a full tank. Came back filled it up only took 11 gallons. So that averages about 18mpg.

Not to bad in my book.

Still think something isn't right with my turbo/up pipe. But overall it all went well good up hills braking down hill

Oh and I just passed 200,000 miles.

For what it is worth.. the B50 life of the 6.0 as speced out by Navistar's version:


Depending on who you talk to, it is either 350,000 or 375,000 miles.

Since Ford pushed more HP, etc. fair to expect a bit less for the F version.

That is, the engine is suppose to go 350,000 miles before 50% of the population need major repairs.

We got a bit to do first....
