Default What to expect on 07

I am looking to buy an 07 f350. I had an 04 before and I was very disappointed in the turbo with it. I heard that the turbo on the 07 is different from the 06 and certainly better than the 04. Is this correct and what is difference?

What can I expect in MPG on this truck? It's a 4x4 long bed crew cab.

Thanks

i have heard the intake manifolds/ turbo drain lines are different. but i have also been told that the 03-04 turbos perform better than the 05-07's do. flow more air i do believe

I owned the 04 and drove the 06 yesterday, and I must say that the 06 turbo was much more responsive and at a earlier stage. I had to have two turbo's put in prior to 25K. They also reflashed the computer and killed all of the power. I was told that I'd only be getting about 14-18 mpg on an 07 f350. Is this true?

I am seriously considering buying a Dodge with the 5.9. Any comments on the Dodge trucks here?

BTW. I just sold my 03 7.3L that looked just like yours. Man I know I'm going to regret it but it had 4x2 and I realy need a 4x4.
