    My new single turbo toy.

    Well, since my daily bit the dust a few months ago, I needed something to drive.


    So, I got an amazing deal on this.




    01 F-250 4x4

    My first truck.

    It shall haul my car to the track and what not later down the road.

    I am happy with it so far. It's definitely not a power house. But it should do the job.

    253k when I got it. It was commercially used up in San Antonio so its all mostly high way.

    It should last me a good while.

    Picked up some new tires for the truck. It's amazing how much better it feels to drive now.


    Next on my list is to find out why I am only getting 11-12 mpg. I don't drive like a maniac or anything. Just straight down the highway to work and back.

    I get about 200-220 miles per half tank, which seems odd to me.

    Anyone have experience with these 7.3l's?

    If that is what they get so be it. I just want to make sure it isn't irregular and that something might be amiss.

    That's low, but I don't know how you drive it, or what tires you have, or if it's an auto. All make a huge difference. Best results will be keeping it under 70, or 2000 rpms. You should see more like 15-17mpg.
