V2 versus V3
Have a question on what the difference is between a 2v and 3V and what do I have. Looking at buying some headers on line and they are asking if I need a 2V or 3V. I know it has to do with the valves. My truck is a 2001 250 4x4 V10 Thanks in advance

Aren't the newer generation Super Duty Trucks heavier as well? I've owned an 01' 03' and now an 08' and it's seems it is a heavier truck, even with the gasser vs the diesel options I had in the previous trucks. That would account for a fuel mileage variation.

But when your lifted, we see poor gas mileage. We don't consider mileage on our toys, right Heavy Metal. At least I don't.

Roger that. I average about 13 now, but I barely drive it. Living 75 minutes from work sucks. I can't drive it as much as I used to. The Escort ZX2 racks up the mileage now, over 2000 a month.
To tell the truth though, my mileage didn't drop all that much. I think my gear change can account for most of it but, I did most of my mods at the same time as the lift. I wish I would have done the lift first and seen the "worse" mileage so it seemed like a "blessing" to get similar mileage lifted vs. unlifted.
Is that your truck in your avatar? Thats sweet. You should check out my gallery. I just posted new pics today.
