I have a bullydog tuner on my truck but no tune actually installed. The truck is all stock except for the blue spring mod i recently did. I have done an oil change, both fuel filters are changed, it has a brand new radiator with new coolant in it. I just test drove it today after changing the...

So after scratching my head for some time now, I figured I'd break down and ask the advice of those who probably know better than I do. I've had my '06 CCSB 4x4 6.0 for about 7 months now. It has a hair over 116K miles on it now, and has run great since I bought it. It was totally stock when...

Hey guys. What are y'all really getting mpg wise with your trucks? I'm currently driving a 97 2wd with an unfixable speedo problem it seems and I'm getting 12 mpg. I'd love to stay with my loyalty to Ford and up grade to an 00-02 7.3 6 speed but if the mileage can't really get better than 16mpg...
