Load pic's in Paint program and use the Strech/Skew to make images smaller........just enter like 50% or 25% for each and should make the image smaller.

how is the fuel milage pulling that trailer with twins?

13-14mpg on frequent 700mi round trips, but keep in mind we have mountains to climb to get anywhere.:D There is alot of time spent going up and down and I usually try to go up as fast as I can, or at least do it without slowing down any.

ha... 10 city, MAYBE 15 highway. Empty bed, no towing.

04 5.4 4x4 scab

with my '00 F550, 4x4, 4.88, 4R100, 8R19.5, 4"turbo back, Amsoil foam air filter, all synthetic oils. I get like 8mpg round trip (500 miles) gvw 17,500# empty and around 41,000ish # loaded, pulling a 40' flatbed gooseneck.

I had an 01 F350, 4x2, 3.73, 6spd, 235/85R16, drw, 4"turbo back, Amsoil foam air filter, 60hp superchips program, all synthetic oils. I got about 10.5 mpg round trip gvw was 14,500# empty with the same trailer (550's are heavy) and about 38,500# loaded.

'94 F350, 4x2, 3.55, ZF5, 235/85R16, SRW, CC, 2001 turbo, 4"turbo back, Amsoil foam air filter, 6 position TS chip. The best high way empty 24.5 mpg (65mph max) pulling hay (33,000 gvw) about 13 round trip. Pulling 8'x24' Eby stock trailer 16mpg. this truck currently has 350,000+ miles and is waiting for new injectors.

97 gmc 3116 cat 6-7mpg

I still have the 01 f350 but thanks too a couple of bone heads with a can of starting fluid it has a cracked piston or ring(s). I put over 600,000 miles on that truck from 2001 till 2007, since it is regular cab, 4x2, plain jane XL, I decided to make it a parts truck. the ZF6 (reman) is going in my F550 and I want to tare the engine down and see what 600,000 abusive miles + 60hp chip + amsoil equals. I would like to take pics, document it and share it with the world.

this is what my G/F thinks oher truck

It gets more love then I do.

The 1st one is a 500 bale laod of hay I pull 2-3 of these loads a week. 40' Gooseneck with electric/hydraulic disk brakes, gotta have 'em. The 3rd pic is 127 bales.
