Its gotta around town,open road @ 100kmh's prob not,i reckon ive gone up 3 ltr's per 100 since I went from stock rims and 31's to these 35's..
Im going to take these 35's off and stick my stock rims and tyre's back on and do a fuel consumption test,i'll let you know.

I do know with my truck I can get eek about 12.5l/100km if I keep it under 2000rpms when cruising (up to about 110kmh). If I go over 2000, it quickly climbs into 14-15+ l/100km for hwy, so with 4.10's and spinning higher rpm's, I would expect it to be worse again. dunno
I am only running 33.5" road tires with a leveling kit in the front, and my engine is completely stock apart from a 4" turbo back straight pipe (yes, its f'n loud)

AE arived this morning 
along with AIH delete plug.
Busy weekend but I should find time to install the software
and hook it up to the truck to check it's all working OK.
Hopfully I will get time through the week to do the recal
and test it against the GPS.
Also need to track down what's caused the ABS warning light.

With the AE, you will be able to work out what sensor it is (either one at the front, or the one at the rear).
It will either be wiring, or the sensor itself. The wiring on the front two are quite exposed, and can break. The rear sensor often gets a lot of metal shavings thrown up from the crown wheel on the diff (which removing the sensor and wiping it down often fixes).
Best of luck

I have spent much internet time trying to find the answer to this
question before resorting to asking it here, it make me feel dumb
asking.
Where the hell is the socket for the AE interface to plug into?
I have spend ages looking under the dash around the steering column
where it's supposed to be and can't for the life of me see it.
Also , I am not reading any boost on the new gauge.
I will have to check the line is not pinched or kinked.
What should I be seeing on the gauge from idle to 1500RPM?

I haven't used the AE, but if it plugs into the IDS module like Ford's calibration tools, its under the dash.
Boost, you won't see much, unless the vehicle is
a. Above 1600rpm
b. Under load (i.e. the vehicle is actually moving, and you have the throttle pinned)

The IDS plug, sometimes called the OB2, is on the left side of the driver footwell, and is about the size of a 7 pin trailer socket, it usually has a plastic slip-on box cover so it is not immediately obvious it is a socket to plug into.

lol, I did the same when I set up my guages. Spent an hour going over everything because I couldnt see any boost in the drive way. You have to get her out on the road and drive. Then you will get what you are looking for.
And like Simon said , its on the left hand side of the column under the dash.

Just used it this morning after a BREAKDOWN (my first F250 let down) to read codes.
Left side driver footwell, mounted directly at the edge of the plastic dash, socket is point down towards the floor, from underneath it just looks like a black oblong 1cmx5cm - slip off the cover to reveal the connector pins...
