I've been waiting for all this to subside before
posting. I have a 97 250HD SC 4x4 4:10's E4OD, I
was one of the original "Bad Mileage" posters about
two months ago. I was getting 12-13 MPG with 900
miles on the engine. I was told by a number of
people that it was not broke in until up to around
14,000 to 20,000 miles. I now have almost 4000
miles and am pleased with the mileage. I just put 4
gals. in a totaly dry tank, ran it on cruise
control on the freeway, flat and level at sea level
at 2000 RPM's which is 63-64 MPH and only a few
blocks in city driving and got 21 MPG. My average
with stop and go driving is around 17.5-18.5. All
the Diesel around here is straight #2, and I don't
use any additives. I hope to get upwards to 19 by
the time it breaks in.
