[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16283138, member: 166576"] Thats unfortunately the problem brother. Ive got a 2001 Excursion with the V10 and she's averaging 8.4 mpg unloaded. Its a VERY smooth engine and moves the 4-ton Excursion around effortlessly. Drive belt tensioner failed, snapped the drive belt and laughed it off. Its a tough engine for sure. The mileage is abysmal unloaded and only going to plummet under a real load. I want something that will last a long time (possibly the last daily I want to buy for a few decades), have a high towing capacity, be a tank for future little ones, and get respectable mileage unloaded. 15-16 unloaded on 2.79 a gallon diesel is better to me than 8.4 mpg on regular unleaded. That means a payment on it, i understand that. Once its paid off its still a 15-16 mpg truck and can haul more and do it with less effort. With maintenance that I can easily do there's no reason I shouldnt get many many miles and years of use out of a Powerstroke. I suppose Im starting to come around to the idea of a 6.7 Powerstroke. The Shelby should be paid off this spring so Ill have a payment to play with again. Really digging the 2015-2016 Super Duty F-350 SRWs. [/QUOTE]
