just wondering if anybody has a new superduty with the V10
what kind of milage are you getting ? i don't really want to buy a diesel with the extra up front costs and the extra maintenece hard to justify a diesel for primarly pulling only in the summer months as it will be a daily driver as well

I've got an 08 F-350 longbox, crew, 4x4, SRW with a slide in tool box, I'm about 4500 Kg. I've seen as good as 19 litres/100k and as bad as 24 litres/100k. Average is around 20-21/100k.

:dI have worked on the Ford 08 V10 we installed propane on 3 of them they work well. The guy's say the mileage is around 13.5mpg on propane @.499 and gas is .999 in Fort St. John. The power on propane is more than gas because it is injected. The one's I have driven I enjoyed good power and no diesel noise and no smoke.

:dOn a 6l GM in a 2500 4X4 longbox 3tens in a quarter mile faster in 3 out of 5 passes. Not a lot, But no power loss. Check out PRINS or IMPCO on line and look for yourself. The V10 we used PRINS

:nono:Not natural gas. (PROPANE) The cost in Fort St. John is 6200.00 this will give you the choice of underbody or in box tanks @49.9 for propane and at 99.9 for gas and 13.5mpg it's like driving at 26mpg you do loose 1mpg on propane

are there anyother advantages to running propane vs gas, horse power is equal now so other then propane beeing cheaper what are the other benifits to it? Dose it burn cleaner ? If so could I expect longer motor life ??

:dYou get cleaner burning (greener) Longer oil life(cleaner) more range. On my 05 GMC I can go 1400km on the fuel I can carry, But the wife has to stop every 2-3hr for a pee stop anyways. Last year on holidays we went 3400km for $513.fuel that was in B.C. & Alberta pulling a Gulfstream 22ft trailer in a 5.3l 310hp 4:10 gears @ 3000rpm at 100kmhr 3rd gear (not in overdrive)
