You could have bad injectors or glow plugs. It is hard to say without more information. Injectors would be the first thing I would have checked.
no a powerstroke is the biggest peace of S H I T. cummins is the best diesel there is.It can also depend on the year of the motors. The powerstroke 7.3 turbo diesel is a very strong motor that has done very well for Ford. The 6.0 powerstroke on the otherhand has done very poorly for Ford. The cummins also gets better fuel mileage than the powerstroke by around 5 mpg's just as a stock motor, but power adders will afect that. In my personal opinion i would would take the cummins over the powerstroke.
The diesel engine that would be in a 2008 Ford E-350 van would be the 6.4L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8. This Powerstroke engine got poor fuel economy with about 16mpg highway and 12mpg city.
The best way to find out the gas mileage on your diesel truck would be to go to the popularmechanics.com website. I don't know which year, make or model this particular truck is therefore the mileage would depend.
Yes. But you would have to update all of the electronics and software in the 1993 F-350 to match the newer 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel. And that could possibly be costly.
Probably the best way to get better fuel mileage would be to get a tuner for it.
There have been injector problems, busted seals, and blown turbo problems. The best model year for the 6.0L Powerstroke engine would be the 2006 and 2007 model year. These were the years they got most of the problems worked out on the 6.0L Powerstroke engine.
Normally that would be the low fuel warning light
Considering that a diesel pickup truck can't use gas I would say that there aren't any diesel trucks that get good gas mileage. If you were wondering which diesel truck gets the highest miles per gallon then I would say you should look at the Dodge Cummins diesel.
That depends on your fuel mileage.
The 6.0L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8 which was produced from 2003 to 2007, got a city MPG rating of 14 and a highway MPG rating of 19. The combined average MPG would be 16.5.
Diesel will always give you better fuel mileage as diesel fuel itself contains more BTU (the measure of thermal energy) in a given quantity than compared to gas.So therefore a diesel engine can extract more mileage out of a gallon of diesel fuel as there is more energy to extract out of that gallon as compared to a gallon of gas.Considering this, this is why diesel fuel prices would have to rise considerably over gas before the two would be equal on a cost per mile basis.
The Powerstroke was introduced in 1995, the difference is direct injection. The pre1995 engines were indirect injection
