I have almost 30K on mine as well. I just took it to the ford dealer for a service bulletin where they reflashed it and replaced a radiator hose coupling and it gets about 2 mpg better now.

Thanks for all the responses guys. What started me looking at new rigs was we recently towed my Cig with a buddies '06 F350 SRW 4X4 6.0. I was thoroughly impressed with the ride and towing. Even got around 17.5 mpg coming home without the boat (according to the trip computer. Probably was a little worse than that).
I've heard reports all over the spectrum about the 6.4's from love to hate. Just makes me a tad nervous when the info is about 50/50 good to bad. Even some of the die-hard Ford people aren't really ecstatic about the new motor.

08' F450 with 4:88 gets about 8-9 mpg with 52K miles.
Replace the front diff, transfer case, radiator, Fuel pump twice. Been standed and towed at lest 4 times with boat, wide load, not fun.
Its for sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don, go buy a clean used '07 with a 6.0 if you're worried about the new motor. Probably get one for half of what a new truck would cost. Thats the way I would go if I was in the market right now.
