 Ford 6 8L V10 EFI MPG

Looking at purchasing a used 2001 f350 2-door w/ 8' utility body. Truck is not dually. Truck has 6.8L v10 EFI with 100,000 miles. Seems well maintained but have never owned this engine before and do not know what type of milage or life to expect? Any comments on milage? life expectancy beyond 100,000 miles? not sure yet if 3.73 or 4.10? Should I have a preference? Will only tow light on occasion.

Frank/Hardwood. Thanks for your comments. This is what I was afraid of with mileage. I figure if I can get 10 MPG+ I would buy it. If I am going to be in the 5-6 MPG range like your friends Dodge, that is not really what I want. Thanks again. Rick

momeyer,
Thanks for your extremely helpfull comments. Sharing your experience helped my decision. I bought the truck and now have put 250 or so miles on it. Very happy with this truck so far. Thanks again, rick

jdgreen,
Thanks for your help. Before I bought the truck I checked the VIN to find that it is geared 3.73. Sound like we both own the same truck now. Mileage so far seems consistent with exactly what you are getting. Thanks again, Rick
