First Trip with 04
As many things with the 6.0 are negtive I just wanted to post the good. Got back from a trip on Sun. 1165 miles in two days. CT up to VT, NY, and back. First trip with the 6.0. Great power and over all for a 8000 lbs truck performed great. Im sure many of you agree but I just wanted say its a great truck. Its is my second Ford (7.3) and love it.

That is great. I also have an 04 F-350 CC and I love the truck. I bought it in my home town while on leave and drove it from North Idaho to San Diego (something like 1400 miles) loaded with dirt bikes and since we are expecting our first baby in two weeks, we had it loaded with baby stuff too (and a dog). It performed flawlessly and so far has been a great truck. I loved my 7.3 but I really love this 6.0.
just curious, what was your fuel mileage? We are planning a long trip to Maine this summer unless fuel gets way out of sight.

Fuel mileage was 16 MPG or so not great but I far from babied it. 80 to 90 on the way up but the way back was very mountainous and sometimes snow. For the way I was driving I was pleased little more than $150 in Fuel.
