Welcome to Tucson, coming to DM? (12th or 355th?) I've retired but back as a GS been there for 5 years now. Haven't really had any problems with my 01 so can't really recommend any place, except the IH place has good prices on filters , CPS, etc, Checkers give 10% military discount so I get the oil from them, Wally World has the best local price on Motorcraft filters. One word to the wise though, DO NOT take the truck to Jim Click Ford (22nd/Wilmot) close to the base. I took my rig there a couple of times for oil changes and they will always try to sell you something else and both times they"forgot" to lube up the truck until I ponted out to them that 01's have zerk fittings. Finally, my wife is a real estate agent so, if you're looking to buy or need any local advice let me know

Summer: On the hiway without the horse trailer running about 5-600. Stock exhaust with a 75HP chip. With the trailer, 8-900 sometimes a little less.
Winter: about 100 less on both
