Haha I agree I like my Chevy over that thing without a load behind it that Ford only gets 10 ish MPG not to mention even with over a $1000 in tires it still gets stuck on level ground it is a 2WD truck and my 6.5 is 4X4 with 4.56 gears.

I wouldn't get a parts store kit unless it comes with viton o-rings. The rubber o-rings will fail if you touch them after a few heat cycles. I have been able to reuse viton rings up to three times before they start leaking.

You also have other issues if you are only getting 10mpg from a 2wd IDI. I have never got less than 16mpg in any IDI I have owned. My 86 F-250 would get 20mpg all day long no matter how heavy my foot was.
