Drove the Ford to work all week and we took it to the farm. Traffic leaving Dallas was the pits. Took us an hour and 15 min to go what usually takes 45 minutes. Stop, go, stop, sit, go, etc, etc.
Stopped to get gas so I could check the mileage. Really pleased, even with all the sitting in traffic, it got 18 mpg.
Went to auto parts store Sat. morning and got Wix air, oil, & fuel filter. A bit pricey, $100 for the three. Then on to Autolube to get oil changed and filters installed & lubed up.
Don"t think the fuel filter had ever been changed. They had to break the cap and chisel it to get the old one off.
Horses had to come back to Dallas because the shoer was coming Monday to trim their feet. It was a good opportunity to see how it did with a load. Trailer + 2 horses = 8000lbs. Truck handled it with no problems.
Taking the truck to the farm again and will fill up to check mileage after towing.
