F250 Harley
Looking for the right area to post this; since it is a turbo diesel this looked like the place. Definitely off topic from engine discussion for the most part. 1)
Bringing the truck in for Line X treatment this morning; any cons? 2) Also considering a shell for the bed; any recommendations? 3) Finally any ways to improve milage (MPG)? Currently seeing about 12 mpg around town.
First time posting here; thanks for entertaining my questions. Just got the truck on Friday; it is a 2004 F250 Harley Davidson edition.

Best of Luck,

P.S. I was around 13mpg in my F-350 6.0 until I got passed 1000 miles, I'm currently just under 18k miles and I average 16 in the city and 21.5 on the highway. Also please remember I have an 8" lift an 38" tires. So I am definately not seeing full potential. My pop gets about 23 highway and 16 city on his 04' F-350 6.0. His is stock..

Welcome to FTE and congrats on your new truck.
Hard to hurt anything by putting a polyurethane bedliner or cover on your truck. Line X is a good brand. Quality of course is strictly dependent upon the person providing the application.
We would all like better fuel MPG but that is not why I purchased my BEAST.
Currently @ 11,000 miles. Started @ 12.5 MPG. Now it seems that I am at 14.25 MPG. But, add PowerService fuel additive with every fuel up but not for mileage issues. Went to syn oil @ 10,000 miles, just because I wanted to.
Added Predator @ around 4,500 miles. Reported MPG gains with Predator have been 1.5 - 2.5 MPG. My MPG actually went down however, directly in proportion with my foot pressing down futher on the go fast pedal.
Have fun and safe trucking.

Line-X is the only way to go. Two friends of mine have Rhino Liner and they both have had to have tears repaired. I've had Line-X in two trucks now and have not had one problem-I even spilled battery acid on one of them. Rhino Liner seems to be thicker, but softer.

Re: F250 Harley
The Line-x tech said he takes off all the bolts and tie-downs, etc. before spraying. Should be ready for pick-up in another hour and 20 minutes (no pun intended). Thanks for the inputs. Should there be a Heavy Duty Harley sub group, also? Or are we grouped with the F150 Lightnings?
