RE: Fords 2008 Service Program Update* Important*
Thanks for the reply. Mine is April 07. Printed service program update, and will discuss with dealer at next service.
I don't push truck hard, put with 5th wheel, 12,500 weighed, total 22,500 gross, I got 10.4 over 3500 miles up in Indiana, Michigan, and Wisc. Truck just turned 10,500 miles. It should loosen up soon, and hope to pick up a mile or two. But it pulls and handles the load so well, my comfort level is worth more than a mile or two per gallon.

RE: Fords 2008 Service Program Update* Important*
Where do you find the serial number breakdown for job 1, 2, or 3. I have gone to MY FORD site, but can't get any info about date of manufacture.
The truck has been wonderful, just past 10M miles. Mileage still not very good, but it does seem to regen a lot. I drive easy, very few full throttle, so maybe that causes more PDF problems.
I would appreciate your thoughts.

RE: Whats Your Real Weights? Truck and Trailer. The Real Deal
2008 F350 DRW Lariat 4x4 long bed 6.4 PS.
Truck max GVRW is 13,000 lbs. Total GCVW 23,500
Truck with fuel and 2 people. 5340 front
4240 rear
Total unloaded truck 9,580 lbs.
2006 Everest 323P Rear Kitchen Gross vech. weight is 14,200 lbs.
Front Axle 4,800
Rear Axle 5,260
Total Trailer Axle weights 10,060
Total weight of Trailer and Truck with full Propane and 20 gallons of water is 22,680 lbs. Under GCVW by 820 lbs.
22,680 - 10,060 Trailer - 9,580 truck is 3,040 hitch weight.
10,060 axle plus hitch 3,040 is 13,100 lbs total trailer weight.
20% of 13,100 is 2,620 suggested hitch weight. I'm under everywhere except hitch weight, where I am over by 420 lbs. My total truck
GVRW is 12,620, under by 380 lbs.
I'm legal, a little tongue heavy, but very little wiggle room.
Truck pulls it nicely, but I have some of that Rear Kitchen bounce.
I'm reluctant to move any weight from the front of the trailer to the middle or worse back of the trailer.
Guess I just need to get rid of some junk in the basement!
