Back in 96 I bought a new 95 F350 5.8 auto for $15000 and was a left over. The best it got was 16mpg till it got 100000 miles on it then it was 11 mpg no mater what you did with it. At 150k had to have the trans rebuilt and 250k had to put a starter, alt, water pump and hoses and battery. Now has 298000 miles and still runs good. Last spring I bought a 96 F350 7.3 auto xcab flat bed with 85000 original miles and gave $4300 for it. Runs good and now gets up to 19mpg (after $1000 in work) but averages 17mpg. Now it don't take long to figure out which one I am driving now the most. Both run good and will pull anything I hook to them but the diesel is cheaper to drive and has more power than the gas ever did. I still like the old gas truck and still use it put the diesel was bought to replace the gas truck as it has all most 300000 miles on it and lets face it its worn out. This is the first diesel truck I have owned and maybe the last, I don't know but for now I can stand to drive it at this mileage and its easy to drive. And the debate goes on. Bandit

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
