20,000 Mile Report.......
Highway MPG 22.3
City MPG 17.1
All have been done by calculator not overhead comp.
Problems:
Busted or cracked manifold
Bad VGT solenoid
Other than stated, I have had no problems. Change the oil and go. I love my truck, loaded with power and pulls my 30 foot PACE loaded with a gross of 12,000 lbs like its not there. It is #4 off of the assembly line as an 04 model. Just thought i would show a little info on my PSD..........

Us Texans don't care bout no stinkin mileage !!!!!!!!!!!!! 
actual - getting there is half the fun for me and I keep traveling in the "sweet" spot at about 2500 rpms or more
(kidding - have NO idea what RPM I travel at --- just go as fast as the guy clearing the path in front of me - rather no bust my fuel cost by getting a $200 traffic ticket....

10K Report
Well, I have exactly half the mileage that you have, and I would like to report a trouble-free truck myself...
Other than the blown engine (which was 100% totally my fault) My truck has never made a cross noise, sputtered, smoked funny, leaked oil, or anything. The transmission has dealt with my punishment VERY well and has no mechanical damage whatsoever, even after I cooked the fluid.
My mileage on my old motor was about 13/19 (with LOTS of heavy throttle) and the new one is 14/21, and its not even broken in yet...
I love it, and I wouldn't trade it for a brand new porche...
Oh, wait, yes I would...I would sell the porche and go buy 3 new 6.0's
