Take a look at your wrist, see the that's right there's a little FORD Blue blood in all of us... Even the JAP Diesel lovers....
i am noticing alot of misprints in every artcle i read on these new trucks,including not not only: saying there is an egt gauges on diesels, or back up camera's, and how saying early next year, when the article was published january 16th.... we know what they ment but almost every article i read some where had something wrong with misrepresentation of what this truck is going to have on it.

it makes me nervous that in all these tests... no one mentions the fuel economy of these trucks. All I'm asking for is a little bit better than my 6.0L got.... which was an average of about 13.5. I know I'm gonna get flamed for saying that.... but when the duramax is getting 18-20.... I don't think its that much to ask for.

Who said the Duramaxes are getting 18-20. There gettin the same poor mileage the 6.0 is getting.

I'm getting about 17.25mpg right now, on winter fuel, with my '06 LBZ Dmax. This past spring and summer, the average was between 18.5-19.5, with one full tank that averaged over 20mpg.
A friends old LB7 got 28 on the freeway with custom tuning and oh also had 435hp to the wheels. I must say I really did like that truck but it still wasn't a super duty.
Now to the important stuff... That front end is definatly getting better. The only thing I'm mad about is waiting for the release. I think we should only have about a week or two left, right?

I was getting 18 when my truck was new. The new diesel fuel will lower fuel mileage because it has fewer BTU's per gallon. Last time I checked- 15mpg. Kinda nice, huh? Jack up the price of the fuel to fund plant re-tooling, cut our fuel mileage, and post record profits. Someone needs an ass-whoopin'.
