To be honest I hear a lot less complaints from duramax owners than ford owners. I have a feeling ford owners at times are willing to accept a lot of issues just because of the Ford name thats on the grill.

I would agree 6.7 over 6.4, BUT I have talked to two 6.7 owners and both claimed no better mpg then my 6.4
yea def not buying a diesel for the MPG.. ive got a little beater s10 for that!

I have a 2008 6.4 F450. It has a 4.88 rearend. I get 12 mpg not towing if I stay under 70 mpg. No mods or chip. I tow a 47 fountain on a Myco tandem dually trailer and get 8 mpg. I have never had any issues at all but only have 28k on the truck. It is very quiet and powerful. I love it. The turning radius is better than any car so I can use it for a daily driver and park in covered garages, etc.

did you do a gear change..I believe the 3.55 and 3.31 gears are for the 11 and 12 new 6.7 PS. Im thinking you have the 3.73's. Thanks Jeff
