And Ford even made sure the rods don't get thrown. Cylinder erosion almost
always comes first. Sort of a bad fleet joke. We have two large fleet
dealers close to home. The power strokes are usually in stock. Make sure
you use the additives or the special Diesel antifreezes.

Jim,

My Ford F350 4WD Powerstroke gets better mpg than that... even when towing
a
Vanagon.

It even sits 6 (crew cab).

Cheers,

Jeff

The syncro is an econobox of sorts... it's a lot bigger box than the
metro for sure, and show me something else that can haul all your
gear, has 4wd, and gets 18mpg...
