Older diesel ?

6.2/6.5 are bad news.

I run a 93 7.3 f-350 four door long box with 450,000km's and counting. From about march to november I burn straight furnace oil and for the colder days run diesel in front tank for start up and after warm switch to the back tank which is full of furnace oil. 25mpg(canadian) empty at 100kph. Fully loaded (3000lb's in box) + trailer/car it gets 19-20mpg. The only thing that will really kill milage is rpm. Run around 140kph (2700rpm) and it drops off to 18mpg when empty.

Love the mechanical inj and no turbo. Dead simple, on par with points and carb. Power? Almost exact spec's of a 390 2bbl. 175hp and 320lb's. If it's a real good grade I get it up to 120-130 and it will hold 100kpm. Anything less and It stays steady 100.

Unless your towing a 32-36ft enclosed trailer at 140 or so, it will do fine. If you want to tow that though, get a newer turbo diesel of any of the big three.
