Flying J at I-95 exit 104 (I travel by there often) is very cheap. Get a credit card that has a 5% discount on fuel and you fill up *very* cheaply. 2005+ Ford diesel engines can run biodiesel, but may have to change your fuel filters if running B20. I think my last tank after the 5% discount was $2.44/gal for regular diesel.

Bought it last night...

Diesel Gas has been averaging 15-20 cents less than 87 Octane so Gas Prices are not to much of a concern. Plus my F150 only got 12mpg....

Pics to come...

One of my techs is thinking about trading his F350 for an F450 for his side business.

make absofuckinglutely certain it has had the last reflash done on it, otherwise you will be setting shit on fire during regen!

are you having any body building done on it, or is it a standard bed piece? if you are having any kind of box done on it, please for the love of baby jesus make certain that it does not have any overhang on the roof, or is wired badly into the cab (quick connects would be extra nice) ANY work involving just about anything deeper than an oil change entails removing the cab. its bad enough that ford fucked up and made the body mount nuts so damn shitty that they spin in the metal causing you to have to cut the damn things out, but add in a body that has a headache rack going over that cab, and there will be blood on the fenders when you get it back from warr. work from the previous tech shooting himself cause he had to deal with FOMOCO and their retarded warranty pay.

any powerstroke can run on bio, B20 is the highest concentration to run on any of them. you will have to change filters often for the first few tanks, bio will loosen the sludge in the tanks.

and if you dont run even a little bio, always run some Stanadyne or ford PM17. especially with the ULSD out there now. i have 16 injectors in stock for the 7.3's, and getting ready to start carrying the 6.0 ones. and i am in the middle of nowhere! what does that tell you about fuel quality vs. injector life?
