Hello.... From the new guy
Hello Everyone,
I just found this site today and have alot of reading to do. I know how to use the search button and will be giving it a workout in the coming days. I just bought an 03 F250 SD 4x4 I love the truck but hate the seatbelt minder! (Fixing that right after this post). Anyway I just wanted to say HI and I look forward to sharing information with you all.

Hello.... From the new guy
Ahhhh, the sound of no dinging if I just run into town and dont throw on the seatbelt. THANKS for the warm welcome. My truck has the baby of SD engines 5.4... I know, I know, I should have gotten the V-10 or diesel but I think this will suit my application just fine. Unfortuanately I dont need any help spending money on the truck. I have already had the windows tinted and added some Westin oval tube Nerf Steps and am currently looking into exhaust options. After that a new tonnaue cover and then I will be looking into doing the chip and air intake. As soon as the weather gets better I will take a few pics and try to figure out how to get them posted.
Thanks again
Rick.

Well, got to tow with it over the weekend. And although not far, man what a difference. The boat trailer and gear (read beer) is probably around 5,000lbs. I don't keep the boat far from the water but there are some major hills along with tight curves. I could not tell the thing was back there!! Handling the curves like I was in a sports car. I know it's not the PSD, but man I am impressed!!
Between some highway driving and some in town towing, avg. 11.6 mpg. Don't think that's too shabby? Does gassers mpg improve after the first couple thousand miles like the diesels? May be a dumb question but I don't know so had to ask.
Took pic's too, will post shortly...

Yes, your mileage should improve substantially once you've got 600-1000 miles on your truck. I know mine did. I saw an increase of about 3-4mpg on average after that initial period.
Glad to hear the first trip was a good one.
