1-week anniversary

Man, I love my 2008 F250! I've had it a week , and will be giving the truck its first fill-up tomorrow. Hand-calculated 16.3 MPG, lie-o-meter shows 16.6 with combination in-town/highway driving. The best my 08 Ram mega cab gasser ever did was 13. And towing my travel trailer from the house to the storage lot was a HUGE improvement over the Ram. It was a good truck, but this F250 blows it AWAY!!

Looking forward to changing the oil to Rotella T6 and changing out the fuel filters this weekend.

How could you hand calculate if you haven't filled it yet?

That doesn't make any sense does it? I meant oil change... While I was typing I was talking to my son telling him to fill up the woodbox by the fireplace instead of just putting a few logs in it. I filled up the truck this morning.

What I'm actually going to do is change the oil tomorrow, and the fuel filters this weekend.

Sounds great! Be sure to have a big bucket for the oil. Watch out when you do the fuel filters..baths are easy to come by.

Use only OEM filters.
