Maybe you added too much water the last time you watered it? LOL
Seriously - Fuel/Water separator had a bit too much water in it? or Fuel filter with just a bit too much age on it?

Fuel filters are brand new. I treated with the white power service and that worked for a while. When it started to gel I added a quart of the red diesel 911 and let it idle a while. Fun fact, the red bottle says it does not prevent gelling. Only use to fix a gel problem. It doesn't make sense. Probably a lie so they sell more.

That really sucks to hear. I add a 1/3 of a bottle of the white bottle to a tank. If i have problems my Cummins might turn into a Power Wagon right quick!

We have yet to have any problems with our diesels gelling. Don’t add any fuel additives at all for gel. Not sure if Washington/Idaho uses a different percentage of additives in its fuel but never thought to add anything

Usually most big stations use pre treated diesel. Easy to tel if your fuel mileage sucks. Heck they use treated diesel here and we aren’t even that cold. Guess they do it so truckers are covered wherever they go. I gelled 7 years ago in my old duramax and took 5 days to thaw it out. Killed the battery a bunch of times trying to crank it. I put heaters on the fuel pump and filter, used 911, nothing worked to get it going again. Just waited on Mother Nature.

If only they’d put a Cummins in the Power Wagon that truck would rule. I had a 2015 Power Wagon. Loved that truck but it guzzled fuel. Best mileage I ever got was around 13. Towing my Land Cruiser I averaged about 6.5 to 7.
When I moved to the lake and commuted 130 miles round trip, I sold it. Still miss that truck ....

The new ones have the 4.10 rear end and the 6.4 hemi. And are reporting avg gas milage for a gas 3/4 ton. The new ones with retro 70s looks are tempting to me. The cummins in it would be awsome. They say its too heavy for off road.

I had one with a 6.4 and 4.10s. It still sucked gas down like a sailor on shore leave.

#1 I dunno
#2 Depends how you drive it... I won’t say 28 but it will get up there if you stay out of it.. the problem is you just can’t help yourself!!
#3 I did like my dodge (5.7 hemi)... but there is no comparison when it comes to pulling something.

07... it was a good truck! I bought it used right out of college (08) with 54k miles for $14,500.. drove it to 190k and got $10k trade in on it. Spent very little on it in those years... although it’s not near as fancy as the f150. It fit me better. I still can’t get fully comfortable in the ford. It’s like the steering wheel is too far forward and the peddles too close.

The 2013 and up are a completely different truck than even the 11. Power, 8 speed transmission. Interior. Ect. I kinda have the same problem the fords never quite fit me right. Gm and ram do though.

Really didn't intend to spark a debate. Just thought it was funny...
They are all very nice trucks. I'd buy the Dodg...er, i mean Ram just for the looks alone.
I was always told that Ford sued the US for smoking its german plant during WWII...don't know how true that is. Not to mention all the rumors of antisemitism from Ford. Then there was all the underhanded stuff involving the vehicle we've come to know as a "jeep" today. John Force' Funny car Mustang (back before he was forced to Chevy again) proudly proclaimed "Boss" on the valve covers while ford produced much documation about how they were so clever in developing this engine. Except...it is, like all fuel engines, a direct derivative of the Chrysler 2G Hemi that Ford had little to do with. Then there was the Triton cylinder head debacle, wherein the plugs wouldn't stay in the head until ford "fixed" this by making the plugs impossible to remove. Understandable, since plugs and cylinder heads had only been around for...i dunno...100 YEARS at that point! Not to mention that i find Dennis leary very annoying.
Again, very nice stuff they are turning out...but due to the above, i doubt I'll ever be much of a Ford fan, and if i really needed to pull stuff, I'd go for a Cummins and know what its like to be what powerstrokes dream of being.
