Does anyone know the likeability and mpg of the 6.8L V10
I have a 2008 6.4L Diesel and I’m having problems with the mileage being much less than my 2005 6.0L mileage. Im also having a lot of problem with warning lights coming on that the FORD tech line will NOT let the dealership fix since there is no fix available at this time. I am getting ready to fill Limo Law procedures. When they are completed im thinking of possibly of getting the very same F250 but in the 6.8L V10. I am wanting to find out how other drivers are liking their 2008 V10's before I start my procedures.
One of the "tows" in our fleet has this engine, well I would NOT recommend it if gas is a issue with you, the one on our fleet barely gets 6-7MPG on a good day. A friend had one in his "personal" truck and can get 9MPG if he is good to it. The truck has LOTS of power, but when you need to "GO", you can watch the fuel gauge move. We have had a few "lights" come on, but we found out it was just a few "bad assembly" items (one was a vac hose the other was a bad wire). The diesel would be my choice, but for some reason our 6.6 Duramax (Chevrolet) get almost Twice the mileage that our Ford diesel (and the chev is bigger, heavier, and the diesel is bigger). You might find that the gas is a lot more work and expense than the diesel. But if you are having troubles/or you have given up on the truck, you might want to check out other "diesels". Best of luck, hope this helps.
