Hi OldTimer
I just got home from a 600 mile trip towing almost 9K and it was a DREAM. I only had that minor problem at 270 miles and it has been perfect ever since and the only thing I did was reset the computer. (knock on wood)
My mileage has been right about 20mpg empty and 11mpg towing, but that should improve with more break in time.
I got the diesel just in time for gas prices to go through the roof so Im pretty happy there too. Diesel in my area is about $1.89 which is a good .20 cent lower than regular unleaded and Way below premium which is what I used in the 5.4 due to the superchips. So better mpg, lower fuel costs AND Huge power! WOo Hoo!
So, to sum it up, This is a Dream truck for me. I had a very hard time justifying the rediculous price tag, but after driving this thing, I see why people buy them
btw, Thanks for asking

I just had a Grand opening/diesel meet out at my shop and I got the dealer to bring a 03 w/6L..Where people could test drive it...They test drove it all day long...I got the wife to drive it, She wants one, its really quite, She wants to trade in her F150 SCREW and get a new diesel!!!!..So we may get one before too long...
