Anyone have a 2008 Powerstroke? Just curious, I haven't found much info/feedback from actual owners on these trucks. I'm considering getting back into a diesel, those F-450s look sweet.
Anyone have good or bad luck with the 2008+?

Coach has a '08 King Ranch. It's been a good truck so far, but it still gets horrid gas mileage (avg is like 13.2). The only thing is right now Diesel prices are basically highway robbery. I think the other night he paid $3.29 a gallon at the Valero on Sunset.
we have 4 that have about 30k on them we had nothing but bad luck with them just like the junk 6.0 the new 6.4 cant be touched so forget about program or exhaust for them they have to stay stock or they will have nothing but trouble. we installed a k&n filter in one and it killed the truck. and trust me there is nothing you can touch on them with out the dealer knowing you did. they look nice but are still junk.
wow 13.2 mpg i wish we got that we get like 8 mpg
A lot of it is city driving though, but he doesn't hot rod the truck. I don't know why the mileage sucks. I use to get ~18-20 on the freeway in the Duramax.
The Nav. is bad *** in them though.

I'm not ruling out the other brand trucks, just don't have much feedback on these. Jeff, that new d-max looks nice! How much lift and what size tires are those? Looks like beck & masten in the background.
Its just a 6" procomp with 20" kmc/badlands & 35" toyo's. The torsion bars are not cranked for a nice sweet comfort ride. Here is a link for the GM fans!!!

Most surprising, though, was the Power Stroke's (lack of) performance in the Ford F-350. Out of the box this truck weighed about 1,000-pounds more than the Dodge or Chevy rigs.
I've got a friend w/ an 08 F-250 and he really likes it. He had 2 or 3 F-250s in the past and he said this one is his best one yet...whatever that means.
He said it feels as fast stock as his previous one (06) did with a tune.
I know the interior is pimp!

Plus, a fat hillbilly says if it didn't do the job, he "wouldn't-ah bought it". Also, if that farm lady's grandpa was still alive he'd drive a Tundra.
