    Put 1800 miles on this week. Only problem was the trailer marker lights quit working. No oil usage or leaks. The cab bushings and/or front shocks made a huge difference in ride quality. 7.3 for the first fill up and 6.5 on the second. Power seems similar but idles and runs smoother and quieter. It rained this week and had a couple of muddy lots to deliver in this week. Sad to see it get dirty under the hood.

    If power is similar you will be happy after it breaks in and gains the full power
