Alan, Mornin! Glad to see that you made it home in one piece, with no real problems other than that 6.4s crappy mileage. Down here in Cen-Texas this country has become lousy with these DSLs. 12 to 14 mpg is the norm. Folks who traded of 7.3 and 6.0 are not happy at all. Unless they live with a trailer on the back of their trucks, then the mileage is about the same. I sure you have visited with your Dealer about this, Have they had any suggestions to help the problem. I would not put Red DSL in you new truck there is no telling what might happen. On the newer GM DSLs there are sensors in the fuel tank/system. IF Red DSL is detected the engine switches to Idle mode and will not run any faster than that, just enough to cripple into the dealer, or up onto a wrecker, then the tank has to be pumped out, and reprimed with Road-DSL, recalibrated to get the engine going again. That is what happens in that senerio. I would not want to be the guy who does that to a new Ford. It might run fine, or it might do like the GMs. Just a thought! Have you checked with the After-market people to see if there is something there to help improve milesge, like... Bullydog, or Banks. Look forward to pics and stories about your M. Later, John A.
