I've got 700 miles on a 2008 F-450 6.4 with 4.88 and country road mileage is 12.5.
Got to say with the power this truck has I wish I would have gotten the 4.30 rear end.
Please explain

My 450 with 4.30s runs at 2100 rpms. 4.10s should be 2000 rpms at 65 mph? Magic number for fuel milage for my experience has been to run just under that 2000 rpm

Did any one read the article in the new Diesel Power magazine that tested the 6.4 and the v10. They showed a hwy MPG over 19 and combined was in the 15-16 range. They had an extra cab with the 3.73 rear-end so these trucks should get near the 6.0 in MPG. Oh by the way it beat the v10 in every test situation (Duh) and it almost doubled it in fuel mileage....
Food for thought!!
