Talking

Thanks Stymie. That G is red but could be black with a red background, but hold the cheese. Go DAWGS!

I bought this truck with 30,000 miles and saved a ton of cash. Clean oasis report and carfax. Runs great. Nearly perfect inside and out. The truck is missing an option I need the upfitter switches. Can they be added?

I need to do the TSB that will stop the regens at idle though. Maybe I am need to drive a little harder.

I am showing 12.4 mpg on the highway dropping to 11.4 around town.

Now its time to hook up the fifth wheel and let her work!

just take the truck in, and explain you have a concern with the truck, its attempting to fight you at stop signs, with your foot on the brake, wh ile the truck is in regen. Or, complain that the cruise control "takes off" when resumed. they should reflash it.

Thanks for the upfitter switch information! My first mod in planning.

I just burned another $107 at $4.29 / gallon of fuel. Had calculated mileage at 12.954 mpg mostly hwy 3/4 at 62 mph and 1/4 at 55 mph. The dash gauge showed 13.1 mpg. Close enough. I would like better of course but satisfied. T

he next mod would be the extended air dam. I hope to get another 0.4 mpgs from that one.

Welcome to the F450 club, nice truck. Maybe we should start our own forum section just for 450's.
