Mine had exhaust and a tune and i got 17-18 on the highway and about 13 in town. It makes no difference really, I am pretty sure you knew that beast was not a fuel sipper.

When I was in high school my friends dad got one when they first came out. If I remember right it was the V10 though. The V10 didn't make it. Was it that crappy?

Looks sweet. Dont worry about the fuel economy, my winter truck is a carbed 351W powered Ranger. Im happy with my 14 mph average, and that is AFTER I put AODE in it.

Look to see if the head bolts have been replaced with studs.

Look to see if the EGR upgrade has been done.

Do research on both.

The 03 had one other issue that others did not but I cannot recall what it was. Only the earlier 6.0 diesels had this problem (a year and a half or so after the swap). It escapes me what it was though.

Other than that, bullet proof.

My dream truck is an Excursion with a Dodge Turbo Diesel and manual tranny (from the last two years of Dodge trucks).

Don't tell @tannerc91gt that I said that though.
