Just on the chance the Ford engineer hasn't thrown his arms up in disgust, I do have an observation with a follow up question.
You can see my truck build in my signature. A friend has the identical build as mine. My truck currently has 1,200 miles, his 2,900. We recently drove 120 miles, all interstate, in our respective trucks one behind the other (and no drafting). My mileage for the first 120 was 13.9 going north and 13.3 south (10-15mph winds out of the south). My friends truck was 16.6 north and 16.2 south. These are hand calculated hard numbers.
Is there a reasonable explaination on two identical trucks getting drastically different mpg's?

I'll go out on the limb here and assume this is a dead folder....no engineer has posted here for a long time.

In honesty - we only had Mike's time for a day, out of his generosity he came back in his own time to answer our questions when they were made at a later point in time, for which we are very grateful for.
I'll close this one out.
