Thanks for the reply, like I said, the 13.2 was already registered for the 205 or so miles that were already on it, before I took possesion of it. I've only driven it this past 5 days, 20 miles a day and have been babying it. I wonder if you can zero out the mpg and start fresh?

Dumb question:
Whats the real advantage of a F350 over a F250 if any?
Same payload and towing ability
What do ya'll think?

'05 and newer they redid the GVWR. Pre-'05 the 250 was good for like 8500 GVWR and the 350 SRW (Single Rear Wheel, as opposed to DRW aka Dually) was 9500. Might have been more, but it was 1000lb diff.

Good points for the Ford, luxury interior, roomy, best seats available, pretty good transmission, tow command system, even those extra 4 aux switches on the dash. Much better in those categories than the Dodge. The Ford is definitely a much nicer truck in many areas.
Bad points, less power, takes almost twice the number of turns of the steering wheel to make a turn (sounds silly but it is a huge driving difference). If you get a Ford bedliner then you can't even get to the tie downs in the bed. Had to cut the holes out just to put a strap on a quad.
Dodge --- Cummins! The Dodge interior is almost austere compared to the Ford but it does have the a$$ to pull heavy trailers up hills.
What really hurt was when my son called the Ford a "Bushmobile" like it should be on a ranch in Texas. Now, that hurt! It's brown so I just call it the "big turd" like the motor home in the movie "RV".
