BELOW IS A LINK TO A POST I MADE UNDER ARTICLES

http://www.powerstroke.org/forum/articles/135099-whats-best-generation-super-duty.html

IM LOOKING TO UPGRADE FROM MY F150 TO A F250 HERE BEFORE TOO LONG AND WANT SOME INPUT ON WHAT YOU THINK IS THE BETTER OF THE MOTORS OUT THERE FOR ME. LOOKING TO GET A SC OR CC 4X4 LONG OR SHORT DOESNT MATTER. WHAT DOES IS THE MPG'S THOUGH, IT WILL BE A DAILY DRIVER AS WELL AS MY FARM TRUCK. LET ME KNOW WHAT YA THINK, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

Best gen is entirely an opinion. both are great. subtle differences, most notable are interior, body and fuel system and intercooler. pretty much everything else is same. i would suggest the 2nd generation. late 99 to 03. late 99 to about 01.5 have forged rods (as do the OBS - Old Body Stlye 94.5-97) after 01.5 your pretty much going to get PMC's, there are a few in the mix with forged rods however.

your mpgs will vary, but safe to say average is 16ish hiway, and 14ish in town. my OBS with 4.10's and two wheel drive will reach 19.x on the hiway unloaded. fuel economy is greatly controlled by your foot. it can be improved with a tuner, and make sure your turbo and boots (seals) and such are working properly.

again, i would probably suggest the 2nd gen truck. but just FYI, you can go wrong with an OBS either.

I from KC MO area, you near springfield?
