[QUOTE="halcat, post: 474944, member: 2295"] Bought a new 14 power stroke last year. Awesome truck. Started having some issues, like, leaky front diff seal, rancho shocks went to ****, funny driveline squeak at slow speeds and finally van makes a u-turn in front of me at 60mph. 9k in damage. But the engine, that's what I'm getting at. Love it.quiet strong, good milage. Gets 20mpg interstate, 18 else where. Well, I now have 34k miles on the truck now and I take it to get this service work done under warranty. as I drive across the lot, I stop to look at a 15 platinum. I drive to the service desk, make a appointment to get this work done and the salesman that seen me stop and look at the new truck asked if I want to trade. Im thinking, hummm, trucks been wrecked needs a lot of work, get second generation more powerful motor. I said " do you want to trade"? Well he did. To shorten the story some, I traded for 5grand. I couldn't resist, or believe it. Anyway, my problem is, new power stroke is stronger but is louder under the hood, I can hear the exhaust more and getting about 4 less mpg. I have about 8k miles on the truck now and I believe I am starting to here a fuel knock at cold idle. Truck is loaded with bottom end power. Just touch the fuel petal and bam! Your gone. As a Matter a fact rotated the tires at 6k miles and rear tires are half wore out already. Is the bad milage due to my driving habits? But what about the fuel knock? I did go from 3.31 to 3.55 ratio.
