Smile new Ford owner here

Well I traded my 01 dodge cummins in on a 2010 f-250 King Ranch with 84,000 miles on the 6.4. It seems to run really nice and smooth. Plus I won't miss the 6speed tranny and duel disc clutch. I know the mileage is 13.9 on the highway right now and not too sure about in town.

Thank you guys I really like it. The extra room is great for the kids. I just need to figure out how to get better fuel mileage on the highway lol.

If it's still got DPF you can delete that and it will help. You'll need a tuner, too. Other then that only so much you can do...

Welcome aboard, read up on preventive maintenance and emissions, that will get you going in the right direction.
King Ranch is the way to go!
I'm keeping out of the color deal.

Thanks for the warm welcome, does the delete deal with the white smoke issue?

White smoke issue? Like when you start it up on a cold morning?

Nope it was running around in town after fueling up and driving 25 miles on the highway at 75 and I ended up burning a 1/4 tank of fuel in 60 miles. It doesn't seem to do it on the highway just in town driving with all the idiots doing 30 mph stop and go.

Was it in a cleaning filter mode, then yes, it will take care of that issue.
