What transmission fluid in a 2003 6.0?
I blew a transmission line on the road the other day and the repair shop that did the temporary repair topped the tranny off with 'LV' fluid.

SP was original, LV is an acceptable replacement.

It was fine on flat surfaces and downgrades. I suspect the brake pedal switch. What are your thoughts?
Thats great fuel mileage. Mine is normally between 14 and 15 mpg calculated. I don’t have the fuel economy lie-o-meter. Did you calculate yours?

Yes, I calculated it myself. My truck does not have the lie-o-meter either.
